Re: [squid-users] Squid and /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop

How did you start Squid? As instructed in the INSTALL and QUICKSTART
files, or did you by any chance use the RunCache script?

How did you attempt to stop it?

Was there any messages in cache.log?

Very rarely see questions about people having trouble to stop Squid.
When it happens it is usually because the squid.pid file has been
lost. Or people who have used the RunCache script..

A "killall -TERM squid" should do it if all else fails if you are on
a Linux system (warning: killall on some other system flavors have a
completely different meaning).

Note: If you are using the RunCache script then you must first stop
the RunCache script, or else it will automatically restart Squid once
Squid has stopped..

Henrik
