A -s reload works as documented, however while the logfiles are being written to, the logfiles keep their last (before -s) time/date. Is this a known issue? After a simple restart the logfiles are time updated as normal.

It’s a documented “issue” … [http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners\_guide.html](http://nginx.org/en/docs/beginners_guide.html) use -s reopen (or kill -USR1) to reopen the logfiles.
