Re: [squid-users] squid improper shutdown

Hello pwasenda,

We came to understand from your mail, you are stoping the squid
binary(sbin/squid), which do not has such a stop option. Squid binary
has only shutdown option. It should be executed as given below.

Shutdown the squid using squid binary

"/path to squid directory/sbin/squid -k shutdown".

Stop the squid using rc script

/path to rc script directory/squid stop

If the path of the squid binary varies compared to the location of squid
specified in rc script, Squid will not shutdown properly. So check for
correctness.

Thanks,
