[squid-users] Startup Script for Squid on Redhat 7.2

Hi,

I have just installed Squid 2.5 Pre6 on Redhat 7.2. I can start squid
manually and it runs perfectly. What I am trying to do is get squid to start
as the system boots. I found a site on the web that had the startup script
which I have modified with my install paths, however when I run
./etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start I get the following error and squid does not
start. (Script shown below)

[root@proxy init.d]# ./squid start
Starting squid: init_cache_dir ufs... squid
./squid: squid: command not found

Squid is installed in /usr/local/squid with the executable in the bin dir,
my cache dir is /usr/local/squid/cache.

Please can someone help me!

Regards,

Anthony
