Nginx -g daemon off

Explanation:

The nginx -g daemon off command is used to start the Nginx web server without detaching the process from the terminal. By default, Nginx starts as a daemon (background process), but with this command, it remains attached to the terminal and does not fork into the background.

This can be helpful during development or debugging as it allows you to see the server logs and any error messages directly on the terminal.

Here’s an example:

nginx -g daemon off

This command will start the Nginx server in the current terminal session, and the server will keep running until it is explicitly stopped by interrupting the process (e.g., pressing Ctrl+C).
