I use squid 2.7.STABLE6.
I've 15 processes running, when I kill 2 of them, I see only 13 of 15
processes running in the cache manager menu.

like:

--snip from cache manager menu --
Redirector Statistics:
program: /usr/local/bin/webcatredir
number running: 13 of 15
requests sent: 2482
replies received: 2481
queue length: 0
avg service time: 3.33 msec
--snip--
 
for me it looks like the 2 killed processes will not be started, or does
it take some time ?

--snip from squid -v
