I assume that the OP is using FreeBSD (from the looks of it). If so,
there must be a problem with the pid information, because the script
first calls 'squid -k shutdown' and then waits for the 'squid' processes
to disappear. Since the shutdown call is not delivered properly, the
script waits forever because Squid keeps running.

Does 'squid -k shutdown' exit != 0 when it fails like in the above case?
If yes, I could bail out early and avoid the infinite waiting loop.
