toggle.sh - Nginx Site Enabler/Disabler Utility

Overview

toggle.sh is a simple Bash script to enable, disable, report, or toggle the status of Nginx site configurations. It operates on the sites-available and sites-enabled directories in /etc/nginx/.

Usage

Run the script with sudo to modify Nginx configurations.

sudo ./toggle.sh <cmd> <site-name>

Commands

Command	Description
on	Enable the specified site and reload Nginx.
off	Disable the specified site and reload Nginx.
rpt	Report whether the site is enabled or disabled.
tgl	Toggle the site's status (enable if disabled, disable if enabled).
help	Display usage instructions.

Examples

Enable a site:

sudo ./toggle.sh on example-site

Disable a site:

sudo ./toggle.sh off example-site

Report site status:

sudo ./toggle.sh rpt example-site

Toggle site status:

sudo ./toggle.sh tgl example-site

Requirements

• Nginx installed and running
• Script must be made executable chmod +x toggle.sh
• Script must be executed with sudo
• Site configuration files should exist in /etc/nginx/sites-available/

How It Works

• Enabling a site creates a symbolic link in /etc/nginx/sites-enabled/ and reloads Nginx.
• Disabling a site removes the symbolic link and reloads Nginx.
• Reporting checks if the site exists in sites-available/ and whether it is enabled.
• Toggling enables the site if it is disabled and disables it if enabled, then reloads Nginx.

Notes

• If a site configuration file does not exist in /etc/nginx/sites-available/, the script will not attempt to enable it.
• Nginx is automatically reloaded by the script so that the changes will take effect.
