How to add nginx to /etc/init.d list

I compiled nginx from source and I am launching it with
/usr/local/nginx/bin/nginx.

How is the source compilation added to the /etc/init.d list?

You need and init script. Grab the one from the Debian package, for
example. I suggest you grab the full debian package source and also
check the postinst script for an implementation of a script that does
version upgrade the proper way, i.e., without downtime. Otherwise
you’ll have to send the correct signals to the running process in the
correct order.

You should specify what *nix you are using (Linux, BSD, SCO, OSX), along
with whatever flavor/distro you may be using. There’s some info on the
wiki for a few variations, so you might start there:
