Hi,
I need to restart squid from PHP, but my squi doesn't stop because a lot of stupid errors.
So, i need to kill it and then start it again.
killing a process owned by another user is a tough ask. The squid docs say you shouldn't run it as root and it also advice against using nobody - the user that typically own the apache process. How to make use of sudo/suexec/cron to overcome these issues have been discussed often in the past and you will find it in the archives.
To answer your specific question on getting the PID. I would try looking in /var/run/squid.pid or executing `pidof squid`
instead of trying to parse the output of ps.
squid 9283 0.0 1.0 8392 5060 ? S 16:04 0:00 (squid) -D
