Restarting nginx in rotate log cron configuration

I'm trying to setup a log rotation cron job. In an older configuration, I had the following lines to restart the mongrel process:

postrotate killall -u <username> mongrel_rails

What's the equivalent command to restart my nginx process?

Thanks

cron nginx rotate log rails
