I really hope someone is able to help me with this.

I'm having problems reloading squidGuard without killing all connections currently using the proxy-server. The reason why I would like to do that is, that I want to allow users to temporarily unlock pages which are on the blacklist. I've written a rather simple Python CGI-script which writes the corresponding URL or domain into a squidGuard whitelist and which afterwards reloads squidguard and redirects to the page the user would like to have access to. The script works perfectly fine except that all other connections to squid die while reloading.

I've tried several ways to reload the squidGuard configuration without killing all connections, but non of them worked.

Here's what I've tried so far:

/etc/init.d/squid reload
squid -k reconfigure
killall -HUP squidGuard

Is there another way to reload squidGuard?

Thanks,
Lars
