Then there is a problem with writing the squid.pid file. Maybe Squid does
not have permission to write to this file or something.

Don't "kill -9" unless you absolutely have to. "kill -9" is the same as
"squid -k kill" and will forcibly shut down Squid without any chance to
clean up first.

Then you have some other problem as well. You should never need to restart
the machine only because you are restarting a daemon like Squid.
