Re: [squid-users] Squid exitin periodicaly ( Preparing for shut down after )

(Amos) Sorry did not reply to list Ignore..

I wish SLES10 was more up to date on a few packages!!

I can't find anythin that may be shutting down squid, certainly there seems to
be no cron jobs and the issues are happeing at aproximatly 22 minuet intervals
which is not consistent with a cron schedule.

It's very odd, and been hapenig for a while but we had not noticed.

I may just try a full restart on the system.

Thanks

"Preparing for shut down after XXX requests" occurs when Squid receives
its proper shutdown signal. A clean/graceful shutdown proceeds to follow.
