$ make

Now we gracefully update the binary in place without dropping any existing connections (see "Updating to a new nginx binary on the fly" for more details).

The first step is to get the PID of the old nginx master process — in this example it is 17998 — and then perform the update in place by sending the appropriate signals to that process:

$ ps auxww | grep nginx
$ sudo -s
# make install
# kill -s USR2 17998  # advise old master process to start a new master process using updated binary
# kill -s WINCH 17998 # gracefully shut down old worker processes
# kill -s QUIT 17998  # exit old master process
