Reduced syntax clutter in the error_log directive.
The description text explains special values like "stderr", "syslog:...",
and "memory:...". It is believed that syntax without explicitly listing
these variants is more readable.

Since version 1.0.9 it is now quite safe to run nginx in production with "daemon off", though. Bear in mind that non-stop upgrade is not an option with "daemon off". </para> <para> In a development environment, using "master_process off", nginx can run in the foreground without the master process and can be terminated simply with ^C (SIGINT). This is somewhat similar to running Apache with an 'X' command-line option. However you should NEVER run nginx in production with "master_process off". </para> </section> </article>
