Since squid becomes unusable during the garbage clean, how about making
your RunCache script start squid with the -U flag. Then at 2am send squid
a SIGTERM from crontab. Squid will die, RunCache will restart it in
cleanup mode. I would check that option first, -U rings bell but may not
be correct.

Cheers.
