Nginx does not re-open log files on SIGUSR1.

$ curl localhost >/dev/null 2>&1
$ ls -l /var/log/nginx/
total 8
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel   167 Jan  3 12:09 access.log
-rw-r--r--  1 root  wheel  1202 Jan  3 12:12 error.log

$ sudo pkill -USR1 -f ^nginx:.*master.*process

$ curl localhost >/dev/null 2>&1
$ ls -l /var/log/nginx/
total 12
-rw-r--r--  1 _nginx  wheel   334 Jan  3 12:13 access.log
-rw-r--r--  1 _nginx  wheel  2738 Jan  3 12:13 error.log

Happy? Result is exactly the same...

Worker process doesn't create log files, master process does.

Other than complaining about non-existing issue, you didn't answer any of my 
questions...
