I managed to somehow install squid on my system but I was wondering if it is already running or not. How would I be able to know if it is running on the back of the system already? And one more thing, is there a squid log processor? Where would I be able to see it if there is? Thank you very much for your response.
Hi Lilliesheaa,
Through the squidclient program quickly confirm if the squid program is running by running this command: “% squidclient http://www.netscape.com/ > test”. If it is running the response “Ready to serve requests” will be displayed.
Squid only runs in the background if all the options are off, that is, follow the path “% /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid” to remove options and activate squid to run in the background. There is nothing really like a squid log processor but there are numerous squid log processing software. Here is a useful list of squid log processing software:
Calamaris handles different types of logs.
When you install this software it shows clearly in the control panel its location in your machine.
