DetailsDescription:
The default nginx.service file shipped with the current archlinux stable package does not perform nginx config testing before startup. I followed the nginx wiki page and discovered some suggested/alternative nginx.service files which had that enabled and I'm suggesting that this should be included by default. Just add 'ExecStartPre=/usr/bin/nginx -t -c /etc/nginx/nginx.conf' right before the ExecStart= line. This way it would not even be attempted to start nginx if the previos configtest fails and exits with non-zero. Additional info: * package version(s): nginx 1.6.2-2 * config and/or log files etc.: /usr/lib/systemd/system/nginx.service Steps to reproduce: Install package 'nginx' and check the above mentioned default service file for the missing ExecStartPre line. |

Seems barthalion removed it in https://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/commit/trunk/service?h=packages/nginx&id=885b4bfad after moving nginx to extra, but it isn't actually useless since it will be run before restarting the service on `systemctl restart` and if it fails it won't stop the old one, leaving you with a working nginx instance until you can fix the config in case a config change accidentally broke something.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but there is no way to tell systemd to run one command, but do not restart the service when it fails. The service will be stopped first, and then ExecStartPre will be executed, leaving you with broken config anyway. ExecRestartPre hangs on systemd todo for quite a long time, but apparently no one cares enough to contribute the patches.

Ah, sorry, seems I was mistaken, thought it was checked before restarting. (Has it always been like this, or did it use to try ExecStartPre before restarting?)

ExecStartPre is run, but between stopping and starting nginx. Nothing has changed about it.
