Hello,

I’m using nginx 1.10.3 custom built on Ubuntu 16.04.  I’m also using the recommended systemd service file:

[Unit]
Description=The NGINX HTTP and reverse proxy server
After=syslog.target network.target remote-fs.target nss-lookup.target

[Service]
Type=forking
PIDFile=/run/nginx.pid
ExecStartPre=/usr/sbin/nginx -t
ExecStart=/usr/sbin/nginx
ExecReload=/bin/kill -s HUP $MAINPID
ExecStop=/bin/kill -s QUIT $MAINPID
PrivateTmp=true

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

I’m try to do a no downtime upgrade with the USR2 and WINCH signals.  Here is my process list before:

root     32277  0.0  0.4 1056672 71148 ?       Ss   21:51   0:00 nginx: master process /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

and here it is after sending USR2:

Notice how the new master is a child of the old master.  If I send a WINCH I get:

root     32277  0.0  0.4 1056672 71868 ?       Ss   21:51   0:00 nginx: master process /usr/local/nginx/sbin/nginx

which is not what I’m looking for.  Is this a limitation when running with systemd?

Thanks,
Marc
