I'm using runit to supervise nginx, and to get it to work properly, I had to set

daemon = off;

In the nginx.conf. The documentation says that this shouldn't be used in production. I was wondering why this was and if it is safe to keep running like this.

The "daemon off" and "master_process off" were initially created for development only. However, some people started to run nginx under daemontools and so on using "daemon off". Non-daemonized nginx runs without problems except you can not do online upgrade.

But "master_process off" should be never used in production.
