I tried that and it does not work either, but I've found that if I run nginx
directly from the command line, it does work.

I am using a windows service wrapper so that nginx can continue to run when
I'm logged off (as documented here
http://misterdai.wordpress.com/2009/10/16/nginx-windows-service/)
In fact, none of the -s commands work when I'm running it under a service.
Any ideas why not? I tried it both under an administrator account and the
actual account that it is running under as a service...

It wasn't clear to me that "-s reopen" was for reopening the log files (not
anywhere on the wiki or faq. I guess it's supposed to be obvious?)
