This is the cache log info you see when Squid exits normally because
told via a signal to shut down. The most likely cause is that someone
is running "squid -k shutdown" on your server, or is sending a signal
to the wrong process via kill and shutting down Squid.

I would quiz the people who regularly use or help administer this
server, and look for a case of "pilot error". Maybe someone is
periodically signalling long-running processes for some reason, or is
trying to signal a process which used to have the PID belonging to
squid.
