Hello All I have a vmware on windows with FreeBSD 8 + Squid Cache version 3.0.STABLE24 When windows is shutdown , my bsd box is shutdown abnormally. I restart the bsd box but the Squid logs.. Squid is already running! Process ID .... I have on rc.conf squid_enable="YES" But the same. Is any script or any idea to start and shutdown normaly? Thanks Hello, Delete squid.pid (usually this file locate here: /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid), then squid will start normally. Best Regards, Vadim.
