Sounds about normal to me. Mine takes about 2min. -----Original Message----- From: "Michal W."

During system shutdown it takes quite a long time (~30 seconds) to stop Squid. (This time is about the same when I stop Squid manually by running init scripts or calling "squid -k shutdown"). I am aware that Squids needs to shutdown cleanly, but it appears it does nothing (minimal cpu/disc activity). Is it normal, or is there something wrong with my setup? Thanks, Michal
