While sending squidguard a HUP, I found myself staring down a non-responsive proxy
server. It appears that sending squidguard a HUP when it's being accessed via squid
is NOT a good idea. I'm not quite sure what the problem is but the cache did not dig
that pause.
Now as to details, so that nobody else does this on accident, I didn't just HUP one of
the processes, but rather did the following:
for i in `ps ax|grep squidGuard|awk '{print $1}'`; do kill -HUP $i; done
Which may not have been the greatest of all ideas, but it <seemed to> work. ;-)
Don't know if this can be counted as a bug or if it's just a DEU (Defective End User)
issue.
Thanks,
