1592	"""nginx -s"" doesn't read error_log configuration"	https://stackoverflow.com/users/4861570/stefan		"I'm using recent nginx 1.15.1 on Microsoft Windows 7 (6.1.7601 SP1) and trying to set it up as a small webserver on a readonly (network-)drive. (I previously used miniweb from stanleyhuang before, but that isn't maintained anymore and has severe security flaws.)

It was a small challenge to work around of many write operations of nginx, but I finally got it running - with one small exception: If I want to shut down nginx with ""nginx.exe -s quit"" this exe *always* wants to write something like ""2018/07/06 09:51:42 [notice] 558324#550736: signal process started"" to logs/error.log, despite in config I clearly wrote ""error_log  nul emerg;"" so:
* write error log to nul (windows equivalent to /dev/null"")
* only write logs with emergency level (written log has notice level)
This write action pops up an error message like https://i.stack.imgur.com/68lFU.png which would confuse the user.
So my best guess is that the call doesn't read in / consider my configuration, which I would call a bug.

Steps to reproduce:
* Download nginx 1.15.1 for Windows on a Windows (7) machine
* Extract and copy files to a write-protected network drive or use e.g. VeraCrypt that can mount a container readonly
* use attached config to configure nginx
* start nginx - should work like a charm
* shutdown nginx with ""nginx.exe -s quit""

Expected behavior:
* nginx shuts down gracefully

Currently buggy behavior:
* Windows popup of Write Protect Error pops up because ngnix wants to write a notice to logs/error.log (which isn't configured as error log file)"	defect	closed	minor		nginx-core	1.15.x	duplicate	readonly logging		"'uname' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
