Re: [squid-users] switching squid to another link using cron

Why don't these commands work?
[root@proxy /]#squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf-link2
[root@proxy /]#squid -k reconfigure

I can still see data flowing through link1

I run 2 squid.conf files

squid.conf.link1 having the below comments

tcp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx
udp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx

squid.conf.link2 having this

(the standard default route is used)
#tcp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx
#udp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx

Also thanks my squid files were broken (using pico without -w option trashed
them)

Hi ,
I am trying to switch squid to a different link during peak periods.
I put the shell script below into cron and have it execute at a certain time
eg :12am
Then another different shell script to execute at 8am

#!/bin/sh

echo "Switching over to link2"
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid stop
cp /etc/squid/squid.conf-link2 /etc/squid/squid.conf
while [ -e /var/run/squid.pid ] ; do
echo "trying to restart squid"
sleep 4
done
/etc/rc.d/init.d/squid start
echo "squid restarted"

I run 2 squid.conf files

one having the below comments

tcp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx
udp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx

The second having this
(the standard default route is used)
#tcp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx
#udp_outgoing_address 203.xxx.xxx.xx
