Re: [squid-users] wccp service lost issue

Amos,

I didn't see any errors related to squid restart/crash in cache.log. Is
there any way to debug this ?

Thanks,

Vivek

"-k rotate" was the right way to do it. Only reloads the helpers and

rotates the logs.

WCCP and other public-facing services should not be seeing any loss of

service at all on rotate. Worst case is a short[1] lag while the store

index journal gets rebuilt and dumped to disk.

[1: for various definitions of 'short'.]

Is there any sign in cache.log of Squid crashing at or around those
times?

2.7 has an auto-restart built in that may be masking it from notice.
