Hi all,

Has anyone noticed that `nginx -t' outputs an empty pid file while the nginx process isn't running.

I can only add if [ ! -s $PID ]; then rm -f $PID fi to the check-config section of my rc file at the moment.

Yes, nginx creates pid file on -t to test possibility to create it. It does not write any pid there and does not remove it. The later was done intentionally because there may be race condition when nginx startes, creates file, then someone run nginx -t, it creates file, and deletes it.

so in this case, if the file is there already, then running nginx -t will assume that the file creation is ok, and not do anything to it? This seems to be the case for my tests.
