squid process needs one or two parameters.
IF you are specifying a non-default squid.conf location use -f:
   -f <path-to-squid-conf>

start/stop are passed in via -k with names like shutdown/restart/reconfigure

   -k shutdown/reconfigure/restart

STOP: squid -k shutdown
START: squid
RELOAD: squid -k reconfigure

use squid --help to see the available commands.

You are using 3.x yes? 'all' ACL has been made a built-in ACL now for
3.1 and some earlier. You can remove it from your squid.conf file.

Caused by incorrect parameters received from command line. Squid thinks
you are starting a new version.

/etc/init.d/squid should be a script which translates the RC commands
start/stop/restart/reload into calls or parameters the program
*/sbin/squid can understand.
