Hi Marcus, Please see my current /etc/init.d/squid file. I had added your suggested content. [root@proxy01 ~]# cd /etc/init.d/ [root@proxy01 init.d]# more squid #!/bin/bash # chkconfig: - 90 25 # pidfile: /var/run/squid.pid # config: /etc/squid/squid.conf # ### BEGIN INIT INFO # Provides: squid # Short-Description: starting and stopping Squid Internet Object Cache # Description: Squid - Internet Object Cache. Internet object caching is \ # a way to store requested Internet objects (i.e., data available \ # via the HTTP, FTP, and gopher protocols) on a system closer to the \ # requesting site than to the source. Web browsers can then use the \ # local Squid cache as a proxy HTTP server, reducing access time as \ # well as bandwidth consumption. ### END INIT INFO PATH=/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin export PATH # Source function library. . /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions # Source networking configuration. . /etc/sysconfig/network if [ -f /etc/sysconfig/squid ]; then . /etc/sysconfig/squid fi # don't raise an error if the config file is incomplete # set defaults instead: SQUID_OPTS=${SQUID_OPTS:-""} SQUID_PIDFILE_TIMEOUT=${SQUID_PIDFILE_TIMEOUT:-20} SQUID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT=${SQUID_SHUTDOWN_TIMEOUT:-100} SQUID_CONF=${SQUID_CONF:-"/etc/squid/squid.conf"} # determine the name of the squid binary [ -f /usr/sbin/squid ] && SQUID=squid prog="$SQUID" # determine which one is the cache_swap directory CACHE_SWAP=`sed -e 's/#.*//g' $SQUID_CONF | \ grep cache_dir | awk '{ print $3 }'` RETVAL=0 probe() { # Check that networking is up.
