Zulus Tips

If you still not use Nginx, you should try it! Very powerful and in the same time is very light HTTP server. I’ve use it for testing purposes from first public release, and about one year in production.

I’m not happy only with one thing - there is no startup/control script in standard package. You can tell me what FreeBSD ports and Linux packages has that scripts, but I prefer build Nginx, Apache and other software from sources. So after i have about 100+ copies installed i have write control script for Nginx.

You can download it here. That script like apachectl can do few things: start/stop/graceful/configtest. It’s very easy to add some more functions.

Some time ago i have send that script to Nginx developer, and ask him to include it to distribution (or at least contrib), but as i see from last release it still not there.
