Re: [SQU] Newbie: controlling background activity

Paul,

Squid will only refresh its cache if you tell it to do
so!! To force squid to re-read its config files, type
in the following:

squid -k reconfigure

This should solve your problem. In order for this to
be done, say hourly, use the cron generator to run the
above line. However, if you wanted to do this, you'll
have to contact me, as it would take me another e-mail
to explain!!!!!

I hope that this is of some help,
Regards,

Thomas Adam
