Re: [squid-users] Changes related to /etc/resolv.conf and squid

Hallo, Amos,

Du meintest am 25.01.12:

I use "incron" from Lukas Aiken,

  http://inotify.aiken.cz

with the file "/etc/incron.d/squid" with the contents

  /etc/resolv.conf IN_MODIFY squid -k reconfigure

That means: if "/etc/resolv.conf" is modified then run "squid -k
reconfigure".

There are some other programs which also work with "inotify" - maybe
it's hard for a "squid" developper to look for the special routine(s) on
a special target machine.

"incron" hasn't changed the last two years - don't know if Lukas still
works on it. But the program doesn't seem to need changes ...

Viele Gruesse!
Helmut
