Re: [squid-users] Squid dumps everytime i restart

Ah, now I get what you are asking for. A syncronous "squid -k shutdown"
command that waits until Squid is actually shut down.

Very much true, and should not be too hard to add. Just wait until the
pid (actual pid, not the pidfile) is gone.

Something like the following

pid=`cat /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid`
/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -k shutdown
timeout=300
while kill -0 $pid 2>/dev/null && [ $timeout ]; do
    timeout=`expr $timeout - 1`
    sleep 1
done

Adding a C equivalence of this to the "squid -k shutdown" command should
be quite trivial.
