Nginx restart/reload not working

I have compiled nginx from source and i think that there is something
wrong
with my init script.I changed the error log from debug to crit but error
log
was still showing [debug] in logs.I had to killall nginx and then i ran
service nginx start to nginx again

#!/bin/sh

nginx - this script starts and stops the nginx daemon

chkconfig: - 85 15
