在Ubuntu的Nginx发行版中，存在sites-available和sites-enable这两个目录，启用站点的方式是创建符号链接从sites-available到sites-enable，在Apache中，我们有a2ensite命令来很轻松的完成这件事情。在Nginx中没有这个脚本，所以我们可以自己编写一个。

在/usr/local/sbin 中创建文件nginx_modsite，代码如下，别忘了给执行权限

#!/bin/bash

##
#  File:
#    nginx_modsite
#  Description:
#    Provides a basic script to automate enabling and disabling websites found
#    in the default configuration directories:
#      /etc/nginx/sites-available and /etc/nginx/sites-enabled
#    For easy access to this script, copy it into the directory:
#      /usr/local/sbin
#    Run this script without any arguments or with -h or --help to see a basic
#    help dialog displaying all options.

使用方法：

1. 显示当前站点列表

   sudo nginx_modsite -l

2. 启用站点test_website

   sudo nginx_modsite -e test_website

3. 关闭站点test_website

   sudo nginx_modsite -d test_website
