Hi,

I found that sometimes the nginx work processor will auto restart with  
no  
reload/restart command executed.

When the nginx run some days, found that the pid of work processor  
changed  
but maser pid not changed.

I want to know when nginx will auto restart the work processor?

Best regards

Smith

When a worker process is crashed. You should check the error log.
