Hi there, I need to periodically restart a bunch of url_rewrite_programs. If I issue "squid -k reconfigure" then there is a short window (~5 secs) during which squid refuses connections! Is there a way to tell squid to recycle its children without outright refusing connections, to just delay processing them? --Emil
If the delay between starting and stopping is long enough and can be done with X + random-time offset. Squid will cope with some helpers simply stopping and resumes them.
I would advise testing this well in a controlled environment first. Amos -- Please use Squid 2.6STABLE17+ or 3.0STABLE1+ There are serious security advisories out on all earlier releases.
