Package: squid Version: 3.5.23-5+deb9u1 Hi,
The comment about on shutdown_lifetime in the sample squid.conf file says the following: # TAG: shutdown_lifetime time-units # When SIGTERM or SIGHUP is received, the cache is put into # "shutdown pending" mode until all active sockets are closed. # This value is the lifetime to set for all open descriptors # during shutdown mode. Any active clients after this many # seconds will receive a 'timeout' message. However, in reality, squid waits the shutdown_lifetime regardless of whether there are any active clients currently connected to or not. Even if no clients are connected (squid freshly started, in the middle of the night, verified using lsof and netstat), it still takes 30 seconds to shutdown. So either the code (preferably...) or that comment needs to be fixed. ... or did I just misunderstand the documentation? ;^) Thanks, Alain
