nginx init script for redhat (rhel5)

[mike]

I changed this minorly

restart() {
    configtest || return $?
    stop
    sleep 1
    start
}

to include that sleep 1

it seems sometimes "stop" doesn't clean things up fast enough perhaps.
since then i have had no issues

^^ that fourth time it failed...

sleep 1 so far seems to be foolproof. my provider probably hates me
ive been restarting it over and over.
