the better way would be using a startup script for this. I don't know the
exact location in RH 9, but should be something like /etc/rc.d/init.d/squid .
I guess there is a script which you can use as a template (or copy the script
for squid which is provided on the RH CDs). For details, have a look in the
man pages of chkconfig or insserv. If you use such a script, you can easily
start, stop, and check the status of squid.
