I assume that by "suid" you meant "squid". If yes, then the above
command is a correct way to reconfigure Squid, including SMP Squid.

Does "the system" do more than run "squid -k reconfigure ..."?

* If not, then "the system" does not kill squid-coord and squid-disk
(something else does).

* If yes, then you should fix your system script. Perhaps it thinks that
Squid died and tries to kill/restart it?

Reconfiguration should work "as is". If it does not work, file a bug
report with details such as your system command(s) and resulting
cache.log and syslog output.

Please do not do that. SMP Squid is designed to work with a single
configuration file without SMP macros.


Thank you,
