-t 测试配置文件

[root@localhost ~]# nginx -t
nginx: the configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf syntax is ok
nginx: configuration file /etc/nginx/nginx.conf test is successful

-s 发送信号

[root@localhost ~]# nginx 
[root@localhost ~]# nginx -s reload  （平滑重启，重新加载配置文件，主进程不动，工作进程重新生成）
[root@localhost ~]# nginx -s stop （立即退出）
[root@localhost ~]# nginx -s quit （优雅退出）

-g 'daemon off;' (docker)

[root@localhost ~]# nginx -g 'daemon off;'
