Sure, but 5 minutes is a long time. A better approach would be to
monitor the squid daemon (or daemons, I've never used) via ps in a
while loop until they are all gone. Something like:
while ps -ef squidd # Don't know the daemon name
do
sleep 1
done
This way it should only wait as long as it really takes to shut it
down, and if it happens to take longer than 5 minutes you'll handle
that also.
