How to restart Nginx on Mac OS X?

Question

I just installed Nginx on Mac OS X (thanks http://www.kevinworthington.com/nginx-mac-os-snow-leopard-2-minutes/), but how do I restart Nginx on Mac OS X?

Thanks!

If you just want to restart because of an updated config then just do sudo nginx -s reload.

Quick question what does the && means? I guess it's something different then using ;? – hobbes3 Mar 15 at 20:03

sudo pkill nginx   
sudo nginx

If the pkill can't be found, then install it using brew install proctools first.
