AW: [squid-users] squid -> squidGuard: Redirect_children best practice?

You have to perform "squidGuard -C all" once. This builds the database for squidguard. Dont perform "squidGuard -C all" before every starting of squid!

You should repeat "squidGuard -C all" rebuilding the database if the your blacklist changes.

I did play around with that squidGuard -C all command before. I ran into an issue where it would finish and shutdown all the squidGuard processes when it completed, or so I was led to believe in the log. I'm sure it was some odd timing issue where I had multiple processes starting before it actually completed.

How does one schedule that? The -C all command, do you run that before squid starts as a differeint init script? Also, if you have them prebuilt, how do you 'rebuild' them again and not take down all the squidGuard proccesses?
