Usually it seems pretty smart about it. If there's no connections in progress,
it still says waiting 30 seconds, but shutdowns down immediately and writes
out the swaplog.

On a similar vein, has anyone written a shell script which does a clean
shutdown on Squid when a machine is shutdown? Obviously a kill -9 is the
fastests way to stop it, but guarantees about 8 hours of reload on 20 gig
cache.
