[Bug 1235681] [NEW] squid3 always run with -N option, incompatible with SMP option (workers)

[Michael Opdenacker]

Public bug reported:

Hi,

I switch to Ubuntu 13.10 to enjoy a version of Squid more recent than
3.1. (it's 3.3 in 13.10)

My currrent version is 3.3.8-1ubuntu3

One of the reasons for switching was support for SMP (Squid3 running
multiple instances of itself in a native way).

However, even if you put "workers 8" (for example) in
/etc/squid3/squid.conf, this option is not enable because Squid3 is
always started with the "-N" option ("no daemon" mode), which is
incompatible with the "workers" option.

See http://www.squid-cache.org/Doc/config/workers/ for details.

One option is to remove the "-N" option in /etc/init/squid3. This option
could be put in /etc/default/squid3 for people who really want it.

However, this is just a quick and dirty work-around, as after this
change, stopping the service with "service squid3 stop" no longer works.
You have to manually kill the "squid-coord-X" process. Therefore, extra
rework is needed in /etc/init/squid3.

That's all I have for the moment. Better workarounds and solutions are
welcome! I'll post more if I have any.

Cheers,

Michael.
