the squid that ate my penguin
When I shut down or reboot my mandrake 8.2 it always gets an error shutting down squid thus crippling the shut down process and possibly crippling my system. How can I slay this bug? I stopped the service but I intend to use it. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Hi again!,
What I do when I encounter this type of trouble is uninstall, then re-install the offending program. If that doesn't work then I try installing from source. That seems to solve about 90% of my problems like that. But like everything else in this world, your milage may vary. OOPS!

Since I've never used Squid... Is it loading as a daemon process? (If you look at it with top from the command line) If so, what kind of message do you get from a root command line with /sbin/service squid restart
What exactly is the error you are getting? |

The only error I get is that there is a failure stopping squid with that command or any situation that needs to stop squid. Exact error: Stopping suid [FAILED]
Thats it. Why does it matter if it is a daemon? |

If it was launched as a Daemon, you should have control of it with a 'service' command
/sbin/service squid restart /sbin/service squid stop /sbin/service squid start This sort of thing. If you stop start a program this way, from a console window, you can often see error messages that would scroll by way too fast on a system shutdown. You may also wish to make sure you have the latest version of the program. (Mandrake update). I would check out the faqs at http://www.squid-cache.org They have links to the bugzilla database for squid there. Hope this helps. |

thats what I expected too, but from pure ole console, no X or anything, it has that singular and [sarcasm]most hellpful[/sarcasm] error message (when using restart or stop of course- and it IS running after I use start): Stopping squid [FAILED]. I suppose it is a daemon because I have that "control". Now I would be downloading the update right now if this were around the only service doing this and if I were using an old version! but I tracked down a few others that did exactly the same thing (not serious enough to cripple system shutdown, but gave the same error): ftpd, netfs, and anything related to samba. Now it might be something as simple as reconfiguration/and or update of each service, but I've turned everything off because I don't need them... yet. It still is annoying... windows style. Is there any way I can dedaemonize it? Or would that be undesireable.

I'm at a loss on that, especially if there is nothing helpful at the squid site. I've seen some processes go 'zombie', where they exist, take up resources, but do no work. I haven't seen one that was fully fuctioning, that wouldn't go down as the system changed levels. I suppose kill -9 followed by the process id number (issued from a root console shell) doesn't touch it either....
