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.

Regards,

Peter

My first install of squid was with yast on SUSE. That came with a start,
reload, and stop scripts. The Suse version didn't have everything enabled I
needed, so I compiled what I needed, and lost the scripts. Webmin also has
start, restart, and stop scripts. I haven't had time to track down either of
the set of scripts, and right now I'm running squid with "squid -N -d1" so
it's easy enough to ctrl-C to stop it, but we are still in the testing/setup
stage for our installation of squid. Depending how lazy/busy things are, I'd
either find and use the script to restart squid if there was a conf change,
use webmin to reload it, or just kill squid and restart it.
