```bash
sudo vim /etc/init.d/nginx
```
Paste in the following (remember to run 'set :paste' in VIM when pasting):
```bash
#! /bin/sh
##
# nginx start script
##
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/nginx
NAME=nginx
DESC=nginx
if [ ! -x $DAEMON ]
then
echo "Couldn't find $DAEMON. Please set path to DAEMON."
exit 0
fi
# Include nginx defaults if available
if [ -f /etc/default/nginx ] ; then
. /etc/default/nginx
fi
set -e
case "$1" in
start)
echo -n "Starting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
--exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS

echo -n "Stopping $DESC: "

--exec $DAEMON
echo "$NAME."
;;
restart|force-reload)
echo -n "Restarting $DESC: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --pidfile \
/var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON
sleep 1
start-stop-daemon --start --pidfile \
/var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $DAEMON_OPTS
echo "$NAME."
;;
reload)
echo -n "Reloading $DESC configuration: "
start-stop-daemon --stop --signal HUP --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
--exec $DAEMON
echo "$NAME."
;;
*)
N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|force-reload}" >&2
exit 1
;;
esac
exit 0
```
Now make the script executable with this command:
```bash
sudo chmod 755 /etc/init.d/nginx
```
Lastly, run this command to make the script run when the server starts and stops:
```bash
sudo /usr/sbin/update-rc.d -f nginx defaults
```
