# Stop dance for nginx
# =======================
# Save in /etc/nginx/systemd/system directory
# ExecStop sends SIGSTOP (graceful stop) to the nginx process.
# If, after 5s (--retry QUIT/5) nginx is still running, systemd takes control
# and sends SIGTERM (fast shutdown) to the main process.
# After another 5s (TimeoutStopSec=5), and if nginx is alive, systemd sends
# SIGKILL to all the remaining processes in the process group (KillMode=mixed).

#To stop nginx
systemctl stop nginx 

do i need to create nginx.service file in /etc/nginx/systemd/system folder beacuse i did and its not working?

@guleriagishere You put the script in /lib/systemd/system/ and create a file named nginx.service
As here: https://www.nginx.com/resources/wiki/start/topics/examples/systemd/

Hope that helps.

why start with NPS_VERSION=1.11.33.0;
why not make it 1.13.35.2?

the script was made in 2016, was probably the latest at the time? I'm not too sure
