While I don't agree that he should have squid send a SIG1 or HUP
directly I need to ask, which version of squid are you using? squid -k
reconfigure will only work on legacy squid, if you are using the new
squid from the repo (squid3) then the command is: squid3 -k reconfigure
or distro specific service squid3 reload (which will send a SIG1 with
start-stop-daemon and log messages).
