For my understand, > there should only be one master process. What will cause multiple master > process running? Multiple master processes is not something expected to happen during normal operation. Multiple master processes may be present during binary upgrade, but this isn't something expected to happen automatically. It might also be new worker processes just spawn - before they were able to change name and credentials, I've seen something like this on systems with a LDAP-based user database used when LDAP server was unresponsive. Note well that master processes doesn't handle client connections. Master process only manages worker processes and a configuration. If you see nginx not responding - there should be another reason for this. Looking into nginx error log might be a good idea, as well as examining your system's logs. -- Maxim Dounin http://nginx.org/ _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.nginx.org/mailman/listinfo/nginx
