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 ?S16:04 0:00 (squid) -D -- Raditha Dissanayake. http://www.radinks.com/sftp/ | http://www.raditha.com/megaupload Lean and mean Secure FTP applet with | Mega Upload - PHP file uploader Graphical User Inteface.
