Starting Squid
Use the chkconfig configure Squid to start at boot:
[root@bigboy tmp]# chkconfig squid on
Use the service command to start, stop, and restart Squid after booting:
[root@bigboy tmp]# service squid start
[root@bigboy tmp]# service squid stop
[root@bigboy tmp]# service squid restart
You can test whether the Squid process is running with the pgrep command:
[root@bigboy tmp]# pgrep squid
You should get a response of plain old process ID numbers.
