Hey, The script that starts a service is usually at "/etc/init.d/Service_name" Which "Service_name" in this case is squid.
Since you compiled squid from source It is possible that you don't have the "squid" startup script. You can run the command "/usr/sbin/squid -h" to get the options how to start squid. "/usr/sbin/squid -k parse" will show you if there is an error on your squid.conf.
To shutdown squid you can use "squid -k shut" and it can takes about 30 secs to fully shutdown.
I have hope that the release of the new RPMs(3.3.11 +3.4.0.3) will happen next week. For now I am testing 3.3.11 and it seems to run very nice and passed the 24 hours usage with no problem.

Hi Eliezer, As recommended, I installed Squid V3.3.11. I followed the instructions provided athttp://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/CompilingSquid Downloaded the tar file, unzipped it and then did the following. # You will need the usual build chain yum install -y perl gcc autoconf automake make sudo wget # and some extra packages yum install libxml2-devel libcap-devel # to bootstrap and build from bzr needs also the packages yum install libtool-ltdl-devel The following ./configure options install Squid into the CentOS structure properly: --prefix=/usr --includedir=/usr/include --datadir=/usr/share --bindir=/usr/sbin --libexecdir=/usr/lib/squid --localstatedir=/var --sysconfdir=/etc/squid Now when I try to restart the squid service, it says unrecognized service. Pls help
