Interesting. When I start it in debug mode (-NCd1) the squid.pid appears. When I stop squid in debug mode the squid.pid goes away. Why is this not happening when not running debug mode? The /usr/local/squid directory and everything below is owned to squid user, which is the effective user.

If I restart squid it just overwrites the squid.pid with the new PID Anyway I can tell squid when its not running to ditch the PID file (without relying on scripts and cron jobs to test for this?) - Nick ---- Esta mensagem e seus anexos sao destinados exclusivamente ao(s) destinatario(s) identificado(s) acima e contem informacoes confidenciais ou privilegiadas.
