Hello, So, I confirm, my squid died: it leaved TOP list and get a new PID. What could be the reason? I saw another task running with Squid User: UNLINKD. Could it be the reason ?

Same result. Can you clarify something for me? When you say every hour and 6 minutes, do you mean squid restarts every 66 minutes, or 6 minutes past every hour (1:06, 2:06, 3:06) If it's the second one, then try turning off the cron daemon about 15 minutes before the new hour /etc/init.d/cron stop -- Robert Borkowski
