On Unix-like systems, the command to send a process a signal is called 
"kill": https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man1/kill.1p.html

For example, if you want to abort a Squid worker process that has OS 
process ID (PID) 12345, you may do something like this:

     sudo kill -SIGABRT 12345

You can use "ps" or "top" commands to learn PIDs of processes you want 
to signal.

Beyond using a reasonable coredump_dir value in squid.conf, the system 
administration problems you need to solve to enable Squid core dumps are 
most likely not specific to Squid.


HTH,

I run an external drive as my swap partition or a swap drive, it works I get crash reports when playing around with stuff. /dev/da0 or something it dumps to it and when it reboots shows in the var/crash folder and will display on gui report ready, again if anyone else knows pfSense let me know. I also added an item to the Netgate forum to, but not many users are Squid wizards so it might take a long time to get any community input over there.
