A check on what?
Basically to verify if squid is still running you need to verify that
there are is not one squid instance running.
The PID is kind of a hack to make sure squid is still there or not.
In most cases you can cancel the timeout and check only for the PID.
Also notice that there is a "rm -rf" there which was inherited from an
old script that I got as a "gift" since my own script got lost in a
server migration.
You can run three checks in parallel:
- the pid exists or not
- the process exists or not(using "ps aux|grep squid")
- check if the port in netstat is still in listening mode.
Hope it helps,
Eliezer

Hi
yeah from the rpms. I found the variables to lengthen the timeout period.
But I got in the strange situation where the pid file was still there
(shutdown took longer than the timeout). and the scripts still thought
it was running, so stop would fail as it does a check first. do we
need to do a check first on shutdown ??
