I have roughly the same problem when I shut down my laptop, squid
takes at least 1 minute to shut down, so if I shutdown or restart
without stopping squid first, then all my processes just get killed
rather than shutdown cleanly by their rc script. An option to
vary/disable the timeout would be welcome.
