[squid-users] Squid -k parse -f alternateconfig file

[Garbacik, Joe]

I am using an alternate filename for my squid configuration and am trying to validate the file below going live with it. Should I be able to use both the –k parse and the –f filename options at the same time? It looks like “-k parse” is defaulting to only use only /etc/squid/squid.conf.
# squid –f /etc/squid/squid-20170912a.conf -k parse
