... - Now I've got a remote monitoring tools which also can restart squid using the same script I use on the shell. Squid itself works fine but once I try to rotate with 'squid -k' notthing happens. With debugging activated (All,9) nothing can be seen in the cache.log.

Which monitoring tools ?
What is the 'remoote' tools used to start squid ?

The tool is called runIP but the tool should only send a command to a process running on the box, which then uses the startup script to start squid (runs with user: root).

Does it start squid using the root account ?

yes, squid is started with root from shell (sudo with another user has the same effect). This main squid process then forks another process with user squid.

Can you imagine what could cause squid to not receive signals?
