Hello ports@,

currently when nginx is issued a reload command it simply sends a dumb SIGHUP, but without checking if the reload is loaded correctly. Since nginx keeps running one might get the impression that the reload was successful.

Would it make sense to check the validity of the configuration file before reloading, so that we can at least catch the parsing errors?
