I guess the question was what System startup/shutdown scripts to use?
Well I'll answer that one anyway.

I use the following as /etc/init.d/squid. [I guess the su - cache bit is
strictly unnecessary, but it works for me].

How long you wait for the process to terminate depends on how long it
takes your cache to write out it's log.

No doubt this could be improved on, though.
