Hi,

I just want to put chroot in my /etc/init.d/nginx [1].

I want to run

 chroot /srv/http/ /usr/bin/nginx -g 'pid /run/nginx.pid;'

(which it works; tested)

in my openrc script.

How can I do it? Could anyone help me?

Thanks in advance,
Xavier


[1] This is the original /etc/init.d/nginx installed via pacman -S nginx-openrc
