/etc/init.d/squid is a init.d style wrapper around the Squid binary and
has different usage than Squid. The functions of this init wrapper depends
on what flavor of init wrapper you use, but usually "init.d/squid reload"
runs "sbin/squid -k reconfigure".
So far I have not heard of any situation where "squid -k reconfigure" does
not work due to Squid beeing too buzy, but you should not execute this
very frequently. It takes some time for Squid to change to the new
configuration and a additional "squid -k reconfigure" while the first
is still being processed may be ignored. See your cache.log file.
