Re: starting stopping squid 2.2S3

Thanks for all your answers.

The problem seems to be that there is NO squid.pid
(although it is set in squid.conf:
pid_filename /usr/local/proxy/logs/squid.pid)
And squid seems to be running fine.

So I do: squid -sY
And than I have various squid processes (and squid's working)

ps -efa | grep squid
root 4555 1 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 ./squid -sY
squid 4556 4555 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:01 (squid) -sY
squid 4557 4556 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)
squid 4558 4556 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)
squid 4559 4556 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)
squid 4560 4556 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)
squid 4561 4556 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)
squid 4562 4556 0 Jul06 ? 00:00:00 (unlinkd)

But NO squid.pid ???????
