Description
Bug Overview
When looking through our Command-line parameters docs (https://nginx.org/en/docs/switches.html), the nginx -s signal
parameter does not include any documentation regarding how the flag was developed for usage in Windows platforms and is not recommended on Unix platforms (see nginx/nginx#720 (comment) for more context).
Expected Behavior
We should update our docs (https://nginx.org/en/docs/switches.html) to reflect that the -s
flag is only recommended on Windows builds (https://nginx.org/en/docs/windows.html) and link to https://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html#reconfiguration for more info on how to properly reload NGINX. https://nginx.org/en/docs/control.html#reconfiguration could probably me updated too to give a few examples on how to reload the NGINX config on the most popular distros (it tends to involve a service reload).
