[nginx]access log and error log

[Josh Cooley]

Your postrotate script contains single ticks (') instead of backticks (`),
but you should really use the $( command ) construct if your /bin/sh is
bash.

INCORRECT (what you have now):

                if [ -f /var/run/nginx.pid ]; then

                        kill -USR1 'cat /var/run/nginx.pid'

                        fi

CORRECT, BUT ARCHAIC:

                if [ -f /var/run/nginx.pid ]; then

                        kill -USR1 `cat /var/run/nginx.pid`

                        fi

CORRECT AND MODERN:

                if [ -f /var/run/nginx.pid ]; then

                        kill -USR1 $(cat /var/run/nginx.pid)

                        fi
