Use Systemd to manage OpenRESTY services

Write a Service file

Create an OpenResty. Service file in /usr/lib/systemd/system with the following contents:

# Stop dance for OpenResty # ========================= # # ExecStop sends SIGSTOP (graceful stop) to OpenResty's 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). # # nginx signals reference doc: # http://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html # [Unit] Description=The OpenResty Application Platform After=syslog.target network-online.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target Wants=network-online.target [Service] Type=forking PIDFile=/usr/local/openresty/nginx/logs/nginx.pid ExecStartPre=/usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx -t -q -g 'daemon on; master_process on; ' ExecStart=/usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon on; master_process on; ' ExecReload=/usr/local/openresty/nginx/sbin/nginx -g 'daemon on; master_process on; ' -s reload ExecStop=-/sbin/start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --retry QUIT/5 --pidfile /usr/local/openresty/nginx/logs/nginx.pid TimeoutStopSec=5 KillMode=mixed [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
