| 23 First of all, both "daemon on|off" and "master_process on|off" directives were | |
| 24 intended to be used for nginx code develpment. | |

| 28 While many people use daemon off in production it wasn't really meant for | |
| 29 that. Since version 1.0.9 it is now quite safe to run nginx in production | |
| 30 with daemon off, though. Bear in mind that non-stop upgrade is not an | |
| 31 option with daemon off. | |

| 35 In a development environment, using master_process off, nginx can run in | |
| 36 the foreground without the master process and can be terminated simply | |
| 37 with ^C (SIGINT). This is somewhat similar to running Apache with | |
| 38 an 'X' commandline option. However you should never run nginx in production | |
| 39 with master_process off. | |
