While I am not a Slack user, I would try the following

/etc/init.d/squid start

Works in other distros.

dear Pcghost

.

Quote:

/etc/init.d/squid start

This works in redhat and other distros but not in salckware

in salckwre u can run some service from
like
/etc/rc.d/rc.sendmail start

but not squid like that

Thanks

Here is a script i use. Save it as rc.squid, make it executable and place it in /etc/rc.d. Could be you'll have to adjust the path.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
# Start/stop/restart the squid daemon.
#
squid_start() {
  if [ -x /usr/local/sbin/squid ]; then
    echo "Starting squid daemon:  "
    echo " /usr/local/sbin/squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf"
    /usr/local/sbin/squid -f /etc/squid/squid.conf
  fi
}

squid_stop() {
  echo "Stopping squid daemon:  "
  killall squid 2> /dev/null
}

squid_restart() {
  squid_stop
  sleep 1
  squid_start
}

case "$1" in
'start')
  squid_start
  ;;
'stop')
  squid_stop
  ;;
'restart')
  squid_restart
  ;;
*)
  echo "usage $0 start|stop|restart"
esac

You'll have to adjust the script to your situation, my squid executable is in /usr/local/sbin and my config is in /etc/squid and is called squid.conf. When these settings are reflecting your situation and squid refuses to start maybe you should look in the log file what's going wrong. That would be cache.log I think. Locations of files are depending on what configure options you used.
