If you have an up and running Nginx server on your device and want to stop it, lets see some of the ways you can stop it,
- Using systemctl command:
# systemctl stop nginx
# sudo systemctl stop nginx
- Using service command:
# service stop nginx * Stopping nginx nginx [OK]
# sudo service stop nginx
- Using nginx stop command:
# nginx -s stopx
# sudo service nginx -s stop
