首先编辑一个以nginx命名的文件
vi nginx

! /bin/sh
# chkconfig: 2345 55 25

需要注意上图所标部分，是需要根据自己安装的Nginx路径进行修改的

文件编写完毕后给与一个执行权限
chmod +x nginx
然后将文件移至启动目录下
mv nginx /etc/init.d/
添加开机自启
chkconfig —add nginx
chkconfig nginx on
然后就可以使用
启动：service nginx start
停止：service nginx stop
重启：service nginx restart
重新加载配置文件：service nginx reload
