I am guessing that Windows have a standard concept of a "service" and there is an interface for setting and getting the service name (and possibly for other "service operations"). On Unix, a lot of things may be called services, and "service" term use in interfaces such as ICAP and System V init scripts is standard, but I cannot think of any formal Unix interface that matches what Squid is doing with -n on Unix. We define -n as "service name to use for service operations", but I do not know what those "service operations" are in a Unix context. If most admins know what that means, there is no problem. Hope this clarifies, Alex.
