LinuxQuestions.org - [SOLVED] Squid Parent: child process XXXXX exited with status 1

Hi guys.

I have a transparent proxy Squid-3.0 on Slackware 12.2.

I used cron to restart squid every day at 7:30 AM (just /path.to.squid/squid -k kill && /path.to.squid/squid)

Some days ago I saw in /var/log/messages that Squid was killed but haven't started. I started it manually and everything was OK.

But today everything repeated. And the log file is interesting. I tried to find about it on http://squid-cache.org/ but al in vain. So, I hope some of you can help me.

This is from /var/log/messages :

Code:

May 24 07:30:02 konura squid[17188]: Squid Parent: child process 17199 exited due to signal 9

May 24 07:30:02 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19040 started

May 24 07:30:03 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19040 exited with status 1

May 24 07:32:09 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19049 exited due to signal 6

May 24 07:32:19 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19059 started

May 24 07:32:19 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19059 exited with status 1

May 24 07:32:22 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19062 started

May 24 07:32:23 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19062 exited with status 1

May 24 07:32:26 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19065 started

May 24 07:32:26 konura squid[19038]: Squid Parent: child process 19065 exited with status 1

And there was also one time when it exited with status 6.

I need to say that I haven't edited the config file for a long time, but this problem started to happen.

ADDED, Solved: I'm not sure, but maybe I found the decision. I deleted about 400 mb of Sarg logs from /var partition. And now squid runs well.
Besides, before deleting old logs, 'crontab -e' and 'pkgtool' didn't work :confused: And the system wrote me that it's no space left on device. At the same time, 'df -h' showed me that all partitions had enough free space. Seems strange, but that's it. After deleting old proxy statistics, generated by Sarg (this is about 400 mb) 1)squid runs OK and 2)there are no more that annoying messages about abscence of free space.

Hm hm... :confused:

Do you have any thoughts or suggestions, guys? What was it?!
