Morten Assuming your cache directories are in the directory /var/squid/cache and you're running a UNIX/LINUX system, the command "rm -rf /var/squid/cache/ &" will work just fine. But before restarting squid, you must recreate the cache directories with the command squid -z. I automate the process by using the following commands in a script: #Stop squid services /etc/opt/squid/sbin/squid -k shutdown #Wait 30 seconds for all squid processes to stop sleep 30 #Change to squid cache directory cd /squidcache #Remove squid cache rm -rf * #Recreate squid cache directories /etc/opt/squid/sbin/squid -z #Restart squid /etc/opt/squid/sbin/squid -s -f /etc/opt/squid/etc/squid.conf You'll have to modify this script to fit your particular installation. Hope this helps Bob Morrison Network Administrator Wallingford CT Public Schools USA -----Original Message----- From: Morten W.
