You want the second process id, 83619 in this case. Create the PID file and put the process id number there. For example: echo 83619 > /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid • Use the above technique to find the Squid process id. Send the process a HUP signal, which is the same as squid -kreconfigure: kill -HUP 83619 The reconfigure process creates a new PID file automatically.
