nginx version: nginx/1.8.0

I am trying to stop nginx with the following command /etc/init.d/nginx stop, however it is not returning any successful message. Then I tried to view the nginx processes with this command [![pidof nginx][1]][1] and it returns following pids 58058 58057.

My first query is why nginx is not stopping?

Another thing which I tried is to kill the processes, so as above mentioned PIDs I tried to remove them by following command kill 58058 & kill 58057, the processes are kill but amazingly new processes created automatically. When I again checked the with the command pidof nginx, this time it returns 2 more new processes 58763 58762.

My Second query is how these processes are automatically being created?

I know following query is off topic, however I also want to make changes to the configuration file under sites-available. Is there any way the config file changes will be implemented without restarting nginx server? (For this reason I am restarting my nginx) as we generally do with nginx.conf file with this command service nginx reload or /etc/init.d/nginx reload.

My configurations files with pastebin link are as following

1. /etc/init/nginx.conf


2. /etc/init.d/nginx


3. /etc/nginx/nginx.conf


4. php5/fpm/pool.d/www.conf

root@BS-Web-02:/var/run# cat nginx.pid 
58762
root@BS-Web-02:/var/run# pidof nginx
58763 58762
root@BS-Web-02:/var/run# kill 58762
root@BS-Web-02:/var/run# pidof nginx
3809 3808
root@BS-Web-02:/var/run# cat nginx.pid 
3808

Tried Following Solutions but didn't work

1. Why doesn't stopping the nginx server kill the processes associated with it?


2. Not able to stop nginx server

P.S I am using Varnish on Port 80 and nginx on 8080

Check monit service for nginx configuration in /etc/monit.d/.

If it doesn't work, please post your data from /var/log/messages.
