Re: [squid-users] A way/hack to force squid to die?

Ooops....bad mail.

Again:

Hi Helmut

killall (without any parameter) sends a sigterm (kill -15) to the
squid-processes. This command kill's indeed all squid-processes, but
does not bring squid to send me the desired mail.
I think, that if squid "realize" that something is wrong, it shutdown
(or even dies) with sending the mail to the "cache_mgr". But I don't
know what has to be wrong to bring squid sending this mail. I had
already removed directory-permissions, removed the cache.log, closed
some file descriptors with gdb......but no mail.
