Hi all, Wondering if anyone has an automated cache-flushing script which can be run as a cron job? I know the system calls to actually flush the cache, but my problem is that squid often takes a while to actually shut itself down. I want to flush the entire cache every day at midnight. I want to use something like this: #!/usr/bin/perl $shutdown_squid = `squid -k shutdown`; $move_old_cache = `mv /var/spool/squid /var/spool/squidold`; $make_new_cache = `mkdir /var/spool/squid`; $change_cache_owner = `chown proxy:proxy /var/spool/squid`; $rebuild_squid_cache = `squid -z`; $start_squid = `squid -s`; $delete_old_cache = `rm -rf /var/spool/squidold`; But often it runs so quick that squid doesn't get chance to shutdown before the script tries to restart it. Any suggestions? Thanks Jim
