Hello Sebastian, Thanks for the help, i have allowed the user to rwx on cachemgr but did not have any successes. squid: ERROR: Could not send signal 1 to process 874: (1) Operation not permitted Also i did not want to allow user su or sudo rights. Actually i want to allow one of our night shift person to add / remove ip from a file and recon squid process in case of emergency. He is not the member of the proxy team. I think you understand my point.
