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>
