Squid at startup

I want to start Squid automatically when the system boots.
>From the FAQ list I already placed the ff line on /etc/inittab:

 sq:3:respawn:/usr/local/squid/bin/squid.sh < /dev/null >> /tmp/squid.log 2>>&1

 From the Squid FAQs I copied the squid.sh with contents

       #!/bin/sh
       C=/usr/local/squid
       PATH=/usr/bin:$C/bin
       TZ=PST8PDT
       export PATH TZ
       
       notify="root"
       cd $C
       umask 022
       sleep 10
       while [ -f /tmp/nosquid ]; do
               sleep 1
       done
       /usr/bin/tail -20 $C/logs/cache.log \
               | Mail -s "Squid restart on `hostname` at `date`" $notify
       exec bin/squid -CYs

## my hostname: dale

I then tried to reboot the system. After the system startup
found squid was then running. However, below message keep
on filling up my screen:

INIT: Id "sq" respawning too fast: disabled for 5 minutes
squid[1047]: Squid Parent: child process 1050 started
squid[1098]: Squid Parent: child process 1102 started
squid[1138]: Squid Parent: child process 1139 started
squid[1145]: Squid Parent: child process 1148 started

What does the above messages mean? What does 'disable for 5 minutes' mean? How
do I prevent the above from garbling my screen?

Also, the /tmp/squid.out keeps on logging the errors:

/usr/local/squid/bin/squid.sh: dale: command not found
/usr/local/squid/bin/squid.sh: date: command not found
     

Any paramaters I missed?

Awaiting help on the above,
