      I'm using a blacklist auto update shell script that is working fine downloading Shallalist. The script ends with:

      $squidGuardpath -C all
      
      $squidpath -k reconfigure
      

      Despite SquidGuard is running, I always find it not working after the blacklist update, as exactly as if no SquidGuard is installed. It's only when I click "Apply" when it comes back to life and starts filtering as expected.

      I am wondering what commands does "Apply" trigger to make squidGuard come back to life in order to include them in the shell script, so that no human interaction is needed after the blacklist update?

      Can anyone who understands squidGuard well help me with this question, please?

      Thanks in advance..
