forgot the reply all. squid -k check actually yields nothing. does it need to be enabled in the initial compile? squid's definitely running. Thanks Jim On 8/7/06, Jim Christy <jim.christy@xxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Hi Henrik, I want to flush the cache daily to make sure i'm not getting stale data from the site i'm caching. I understand squid tries to do this automatically. But i've been instructed to make sure it does definitely do a full clear-out just before the site's content is refreshed. (We're working with the site and will know the time they refresh). > When shutting down Squid you need to monitor the pid to determine when > Squid has shut finally down.

I'm already checking the ps aux | grep squid - but of course it always returns true because the grep is a result itself. The running squid process doesn't have it's full path so i can't grep the grep results for that either. But Henrik's squid -k check should do the trick in a while loop. Thanks both.
