 Probably when you reboot you computer the squid.pid file is not

removed. Please check it out.
        Are you running "squid -k shutdown" ??
        I think you can also run:
                kill -TERM `cat /path/to/squid.pid`

        Remember: Squid takes sometime to shutdown while updates it's
cached objects database.
