When I say squid user, I reference to proxy user for 2.7 version.
This is my output of squid processes:
A) root 3617 1 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/squid -D -YC
B) proxy 3621 3617 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:01 (squid) -D -YC
C) proxy 3622 3621 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:00 (unlinkd)
There are 3 processes, where A is the squid monitor.
I'd like knowing if I can run only processes B+C, excluding A; if I remember
right many years ago I had problems with monitor process because squid
starting went loop. Monitor tried to start squid until 10 times.
Many years is a long time. Many things get fixed over long times.
Try working with what is there _now_ and see how it works.
Particularly since this is a completely different monitor process than
any of the versions you have run so far.
This one is well tested over the last 4-5 years and will start exactly
one squid at a time.
I'm also interesting to know how start squid without using monitor process
(A). What do you think ?
-N option for disabling daemon mode.
The master process becomes the live Squid and runs in foreground.
I don't quite understand what you are meaning by "two processes".
It means only B+C
I'd also recommend getting rid of cache_effective_group and ensuring the
OS group privileges are correctly set for the squid user
I have not to use "cache_effective_group" directive but what means "ensuring
the OS group privileges are correctly set for the squid user" ?
Making sure the OS settings have 'proxy' user as a member of 'proxy' group.

I forgot this entry in SQUID 2.7 infact reduced output with grep but only
"squid" word.
proxy 3622 3621 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:00 (unlinkd)
If I want 2 squid running processes excluding 3rd root process (which
monitors squid), how can I set this behaviour ?
I don't quite understand what you are meaning by "two processes".
* two "(squid) -D -YC" processes?
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/MultipleInstances
* two processing running as 'squid' user?
"cache_effective_user squid"

I'm migrating from "Squid 2.5.STABLE3" to "Squid 2.7.STABLE3" but I noted
this point:
SQUID 2.5
There are 2 squid processes which run both as squid user:
squid 11959 1 6 May25 ? 15:44:49 (squid) -D
squid 12022 11959 0 May25 ? 00:01:38 (unlinkd)
This is a part of my squid.conf:
#cache_effective_user squid
#cache_effective_group squid
SQUID 2.7
There are 2 squid processes which run one as root user and other as squid
user:
root 3617 1 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/squid -D
-YC
proxy 3621 3617 0 Jun03 ? 00:00:01 (squid) -D -YC
This is a part of my squid.conf:
# cache_effective_user proxy
# cache_effective_group proxy
1- In squid 2.7, can I start both processes as squid user ?
2- What behaviour is't suggested ? 2 processes which run as squid user
(Squid 2.5) or 2 processes as root+squid users (Squid 2.7) ?
You can, though its not recommended. The process you see running as root
is the master process which acts like the obsolete RunCache/RunAccel.
Its primary purpose is to monitor the other low-privilege process and
restart it if there are any problems. To maintain constant uptime from a
user viewpoint.
It's also responsible for controlling issues such as reconfiguration and
restarts happen cleanly.
I'm not sure from that info why the unlinkd is not also showing up.
I would recommend starting the master as root when using 2.7.
I'd also recommend getting rid of cache_effective_group and ensuring the
OS group privileges are correctly set for the squid user. Squid detects
them just fine these days.
