Re: [squid-users] -k rotate forgets rotation

Never heard of anything like it. Also sounds very odd that it hits two
servers at the same time..

"squid -k rotate" stops functioning if the pid file is
lost/overwrittent.

There is issues with the pid file if attempting to start Squid while it
is already running.
