# Start: f:\nginx-0.9.4> nginx.exe   # View status: F:\nginx-0.9.4> tasklist/fi "imagename eq nginx.exe"   # Stop Now: F:\nginx-0.9.4> nginx.exe-s Stop   # Stop (smooth exit) after all sessions: F:\nginx-0.9.4> Nginx.exe-s quit   # reload config file # (When the configuration file is modified, he starts a new worker, stopping the original worker, which is transparent to the user) f:\nginx-0.9.4> nginx.exe-s Reload   # reopen log file f:\nginx-0.9.4> nginx.exe-s reopen     Unfortunately, Nginx.ex E yourself regardless of registering Windows Server, you need to start/stop yourself manually under the command line. With Google Baidu, found a good article-"Nginx Windows Service", but also found in the article a good program: "Windows service Wrapper"-Used to encapsulate your program into Windows services. You can download it here. http://www.7scs.com/down/57652.html   How to use: 1. Download the latest version of the Windows Service Wrapper program, such as the name I downloaded is "Winsw-1.9-bin.exe",     then, name it as you want (for example: "Myapp.exe", of course, You can also not rename) 2. Copy the renamed Myapp.exe to the Nginx installation directory (I am here "F:\nginx-0.9.4") 3. Create a Windows Service wrapper XML configuration file in the same directory, the name must match the name used when the first step is renamed (for example, I am "myapp.xml" here,   if you do not rename it, it should be " Winsw-1.9-bin.xml ")     file contents are as follows:   <?xml version=" 1.0 "encoding="UTF-8 "?> <service>   <id>nginx</id>   <name>nginx</name>   < description>nginx</description>   <executable>F:\nginx-0.9.4\nginx.exe</executable>   <logpath>F:\nginx-0.9.4\</logpath>   <logmode>roll</logmode>   <depend ></depend>   <startargument>-p f:\nginx-0.9.4</startargument>   <stopargument> -P F:\nginx-0.9.4-s stop</stopargument> </service> 4. At the command line, execute the following command to install it as a Windows service. f:\nginx-0.9.4> myapp.exe install   OK, at this point, completed, confirm: My Computer right---management------Is there an nginx? Start up, access in the browser http://localhost confirm, then stop the service, and then visit  http://localhost confirm.   ADD: The command format for Windows Servcie wrapper is as follows:   # installation Service cmd:\> myapp.exe install   # Uninstall service cmd:\> myapp.exe Uni Nstall   # Start service cmd:\> myapp.exe start   # stop service cmd:\> myapp.exe stop
