Okay, in order to test if it works just try to connect to squid after a boot ;) ... Just found your mistake :) try "ps -axl" man 1 ps <man> -x Display information about processes without controlling terminals. </man> I hope that helps because I suspect that because it is started from a rc Script it can't have a "controlling terminal" bye, ahb
