Because there might be other requests which can be answered without touching the problematic cache directory? While the error is critical (for the particular request) I don't think it makes sense for nginx to stop/kill itself. If you need such functionality/behavior maybe a simple script which checks the nginx error log for 'crit' entries and performs 'killall -9 nginx' might work in your case (or use something like sec (https://simple-evcorr.github.io/) for example) ? rr _______________________________________________ nginx mailing list -- nginx@nginx.org To unsubscribe send an email to nginx-le...@nginx.org
