Hi I have a rather long list of blocked address in my squid config. and the default start stop timeout values are a bit short for my setup. when i did stop it failed because the time to parse the config took to long. any reason it needs to parse to shutdown ? that left the pid file behind, which causes stop to fail again as squid -k check -f /etc/squid/squid.conf fails no running process Alex _______________________________________________ squid-users mailing list squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.squid-cache.org/listinfo/squid-users
