Ooops....bad mail. Again: Hi Helmut killall (without any parameter) sends a sigterm (kill -15) to the squid-processes. This command kill's indeed all squid-processes, but does not bring squid to send me the desired mail. I think, that if squid "realize" that something is wrong, it shutdown (or even dies) with sending the mail to the "cache_mgr". But I don't know what has to be wrong to bring squid sending this mail. I had already removed directory-permissions, removed the cache.log, closed some file descriptors with gdb......but no mail. 2011/6/9 Tom Tux <tomtux80@xxxxxxxxx>: > Hi Helmut > > killall (without any parameter) sends a sigterm (kill -15) to the > squid-processes.
