</div></div>Yes, nginx creates pid file on -t to test possibility to create it.<br>
It does not write any pid there and does not remove it.<br>
The later was done intentionally because there may be race condition<br>
when nginx startes, creates file, then someone run nginx -t, it creates<br>
file, and deletes it.<br>
