Issue Nginx not starting after reboot

[Alireza Famili]

Hi

Now as I searched, this is a known issue with CentOS7.
The issue is simillar to this:
Nginx does not start automatically after reboot: 99: Cannot assign requested address

Now the workaround did not work for me. As I believe this only works for IPv4. Obviously getting rid of nginx altogether works fine but I need to make nginx available as well.
Also came across this but don't know if this is my solution:
Resolved - NGINX not properly started on CentOS 7 even after MU#15;

Thoughts?

I posted two threats not looking I posted in 12.x section. Sorry for that, I use Onyx. Not sure how to move it

I rarely ever restart my server, but just in case.....
I have this watchdog which starts nginx (or some other service) whenever it's not running.
Because I don't want to write a different watchdog for each server I wrote something that should work in most cases by just using the name of the service in the symbolic link.

My watchdog is working for

watch-mysql
watch-nginx
watch-redis-server
watch-zabbix-agent
watch-syncthing
watch-rslsync

grep cron.5min /etc/crontab

*/5  *  *   *   * root   cd / && run-parts /etc/cron.5min

cat /usr/local/sbin/watch-process
ln -s /usr/local/sbin/watch-process /etc/cron.5min/watch-nginx

#!/bin/bash

PROCESS="`echo $0 | grep -o 'watch-.*' | cut -b7-`"
THIS_SCRIPT="`readlink $0`"
SCRIPTNAME=${THIS_SCRIPT##*/}

if [ -z "${PROCESS}" ] ; then
  echo "Wrong usage: make a symbolic link to ${THIS_SCRIPT} named watch-<service>" >&2
  exit 1
elif [ "watch-${PROCESS}" = "${SCRIPTNAME}" ]  ; then
  echo "Wrong usage: make a symbolic link to ${THIS_SCRIPT} named watch-<service>" >&2
  exit 1
fi

USER="`echo ${PROCESS} | awk -F- '{print $1}' | cut -b1-7`"
USERID="`grep "^${USER}" /etc/passwd | awk -F: '{print $3}'`"
SEARCH="`echo ${PROCESS} | tr - .`"
SERVICE=`find /etc/init.d/ -maxdepth 1 -type f | grep ${SEARCH} | head -n1`

if ! grep -q ${USER} /etc/passwd ; then
  echo "${USER} does not exist, service is not installed" >&2
  exit 1
fi
if [ -z "${SERVICE}" ] ; then
  echo "${SERVICE} is not installed as service" >&2
  exit 1
elif [ ! -x ${SERVICE} ] ; then
  echo "${SERVICE} is a DISABLED service" >&2
  exit 1
fi

ps aux | egrep "^(${USER}|${USERID} )" | grep -q " .*${SEARCH}" && exit 0

echo "`date +%b' '%d' '%H:%M:%S` Watchdog $0 invokes \"${SERVICE} start\"" | tee -a /var/log/${SCRIPTNAME}.log >&2

${SERVICE} start
