squid package

i have a question

why squid pid file is put in

/var/log/squid/run/squid.pid

and not in

/var/run/squid.pid

??

and the problem is that in case of abnormal arch restart

squid does not start becouse it thinks it is still running

(becouse folder /var/log/squid/run/ is not cleared on start)

Re: squid package

The pid file location is unchanged from the squid.conf provided by the source tarball.  The pid file is not referenced by squid's start/stop script anyways and could therefore be set to "none".
