Somebody sent QUIT signal to nginx master.  From the time (14:00) 
it looks like wrongly implemented log rotation (e.g. via restart 
or something like).  For log rotation use USR1 signal, it was 
specially designated for this (and instructs nginx to just reopen 
logs without any extra unneeded work).
