Thanks all for the input. My subject was poorly phrased, yes.

The issue is that squid does not seem to be restarting gracefully,
regardless of whether I use /etc/init.d/squid restart or service squid
restart: it failed with (something like) unknown process which to me
implies that squid wasn't running, even though I knew it was as I was
using the proxy through a browser several moments before editing the
whitelist (and why I asked if editing the whitelist file would've
stopped the process, unlikely as that would be).

Obviously it's starting ok on boot, so I'll take a look at the rc*.d
and see if there's any discrepancies.
