The benefit of using the daemon mode compared to use the RunCache
wrapper script is that it is easier to shut down the daemon mode. Simply
squid -k shutdown will do it for you, while RunCache will automatically
restart Squid if you do so. To shut down a RunCache monitored Squid you
must first kill the RunCache script, and then shut down Squid.
The benefit of using the RunCache wrapper is that you can easily add
triggers when Squid is restarted. Triggers I have used include automated
emails, and even automated stack traces from core dumps if any.
