Needed Restart?

[thoebert]

Hello,

thank you for your handy scripts!

I have a question regarding the maintenance toggle shellscript: Why is it necessary to restart nginx each time the maintenance mode is toggled on/off? The file existence check in the maintenance-page.conf is executed for each nginx request, therefore in my tests it was only necessary to create the maintenance-page_on.html file without reloading nginx to turn the maintenance mode on.

Thank you, Timon

Hello,

you're welcome. :)

Nginx is reloaded. This reloads the configuration without restarting the server, just in case any configuration has changed. If nothing has changed, then nothing is done basically.

Regards.
