Some versions of squid had a bug that made them ignore the 'ive shutdown properly' signal from child to the restarter process. That has been fixed for several months now. I find since that fix that even default shutdown_lifetime of 30 seconds far too long for an active cache and had more success setting it to 5 seconds. > Does it have anything to do with the 8 squidGuard redirect_children in my > setup? Yes its waiting so shutdown for them to close. Maybe even when it does not have to. Amos
