Hello. I am using squid-3.2.0.13-r11414 and wonder howto kill squid workers. Killing by pid from start-stop-daemon or pid from file specified in pid_filename does not work because it kills only squid-coord. Is there a way to kill squid processes except of killall?
Depends on whether you just want to shutdown the worker or do a hard kill. The "proper" way is to shutdown via the manager: squidclient mgr:shutdown?workers=2 (to kill worker "kid2") For a hard-kill use the PID displayed by the "ps" tool.
And yet another question: is squid-coord a worker with special functions or it is only a coordinator?
Yes with 2+ workers it is the coordinator.
I am asking because if I specify "workers 2" in squid.conf and want to assign 2 squidGuards to each worker, then 3 squid processes spawned (1 coord, 2 workers) and therefore - 6 squidGuards. So if squid-coord is a worker, then only 2 processes should be spawned, and if not - there is no need for squidGuards for coordinator, I think.
Correct. Thank you. Please report that bug. Amos
