Trouble having started Squid-2.1 at boottime

Hi Managers,

I am using DU4.0f on AlphaServer800 5/500.

Now I want to install a cache. I compiled Squid-2.1 succsessfully.

I can start it manually with

nohup /path/bin/squid -f /path/etc/squid.conf&

But I want the cache being started at boottime.

So I added to the /sbin/rc3.d directory a file called S98proxy

containing:

#!/sbin/sh

/usr/bin/nohup /path/bin/squid -f /path/etc/squid.conf&

But the system hangs at boottime. I think it hangs, when

S98proxy is executed. But I am not sure about that. When

removing the S98proxy file the system comes up.

Where can I look, what happened at boottime. Is this the

common way, to start a service (put it in /sbin/rc3.d)?

Greetings to all managers.
