Squid Shutting Down and Wont Restart
-
@KOM:
Any specific reason you're using squid -k shutdown instead of squid -k restart?
to be honest i just seen this command as a solution somewhere from researching regarding restarting the filter at a specific time for the time based filter to properly work….

Try it and see if it makes any difference. I wasn't aware that the scheduler was broken to the point where you need to bounce squid. I run squid/squidguard on my company LAN, and I have squidguard set to only allow recreational web access during lunch and after hours. It works like a charm and i don't have to do anything funny to squid or squidguard so I'm not quite sure why you're going through this hassle.

when i first setup it, if i remember it right i was having problem with schedule, maybe i was doing it wrong back then and i have read about the issue with the schedule.. it was on the older version though i believe… i will try to remove cron jobs and observe if the schedule is properly kicking in on lunch and after hours..
thanks

Hi Kom,
It happened again. this time i have to manually restart the squid under service, since it is still blocking some site i have to allow..
it didnt restart automatically or wont restart manually. and under cache logs it gave me the same error. i have to Clear Disk Now for it to resolve

Sorry to make you go through all that but it looks like your settings are fine. I have no idea why you're having so much trouble with the schedule.

Its ok brother no worries…. Actually the schedule is fine.. But the squid shutting down and not restarting unless you clear disk now is the problem..

Are you still using that cron job to shutdown squid and then start him again? Did you try the restart option?

Yes actually i tried the restart via cron.. But still does the issue, then i removed all the cron job for squid, no error untill i manually restart squid…

Have you made sure that the pid for squid is down when your cron job run? Possible that the pid is still up that is why it is saying squid already exist.
