I have seen this too, but it doesn't happen every time. I have two comments. 1. 120 seconds is a _long_ time to wait for a service to shut down. Is the initscript waiting too long? 2. After some period of time, should the initscript not attempt to kill squid again? After some period of time, should the initscript not kill squid with SIGKILL? Please note that start-stop-daemon has a very useful "--retry" feature with which initscripts can perform escalating kills. The pdnsd and dnsmasq initscript are good examples to follow. -- Thomas Hood <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
