RE: How can I kill every running squid processes?

DON'T try this on a Solaris system. The killall(1) command does exactly
what its name implies - it kills every process on the system. It does not
take arguments, it does not prompt for confirmation. The rc scripts use it
just before umounting /usr and / during shutdown.

I might also point out that "squid -k <argument>" sends a signal to the
process ID listed in squid.pid. If you somehow got some other process ID in
there, squid doesn't get the signal. Also, squid signals its children to
exit gracefully upon receiving this signal, and this process may take a few
moments. A little patience goes a long way. Allow squid to do its
housekeeping before exiting.

    I am wondering...

    if "squid -k kill" kill every running squids?

    These are started as a "RunCache" at boot time.

    after executing "squid -k kill", some squids are alive.

    What command can kill all squids at once?
