Squidguard on 2.0 final

marcelloc

You can workaround this restarting or reloading squidguard every day or at specific times.

To handle cron schedules using gui, install cron package.

Hi, it work for now, thanks for your help.. with Cron and this command schedule every day:
/usr/local/sbin/squid -k shutdown
/usr/local/sbin/squid

restarting squid by night, the acl time based work fine without press "apply" in time or offtime to pass or block

then with a alias with IP + apps.facebook.com and a schedule rule also https facebook access is possible only in pause time..

only problem left is to cache browser that is not resolved also changing the squidguard_configurator.inc file but not a serious problem

In my experience a cronjob with "squid -k reconfigure" is enough, it will not kill squid and is enough to workaround the time problem.

i did a ps -aux | grep squid on shell and got

proxy 5813 0.0 0.1 9012 2612 ?? SN 1:06PM 0:02.27 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf (squidGuard)
proxy 5903 0.0 0.1 9012 2612 ?? IN 1:06PM 0:00.21 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf (squidGuard)
proxy 6195 0.0 0.1 9012 2612 ?? IN 1:06PM 0:00.08 (squidGuard) -c /usr/local/etc/squidGuard/squidGuard.conf (squidGuard)
root 55758 0.0 0.1 15248 4652 ?? INs 12:56PM 0:00.00 /usr/local/sbin/squid -D

as you can also see in "proxy server" configuration, squidguard is configured as a redirect program inside squid, not a deamon itself. I only know about pfsense, that i know nothing about pfsense so i may be wrong, but that's what i conclude.

of course you need to make a cronjob with "/usr/local/sbin/squid -k reconfigure", got an pm to this, so, well you always need the full path in a cron job
