Bug#821114: nginx: Please use KillSignal=SIGQUIT in systemd service

[Laurent Bigonville]

Package: nginx
Version: 1.6.2-3
Severity: normal
User: pkg-systemd-maintainers at lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

Wouldn't it be better to use KillSignal=SIGQUIT in the .service file
rather than using this hack?

ExecStop=-/sbin/start-stop-daemon --quiet --stop --retry QUIT/5 --pidfile /run/nginx.pid

Is it necessary really necessary to send QUIT, then TERM and then KILL?

Cheers,

Laurent Bigonville
