This is very similar to the one I took and modified. The main
differences besides location due to my choice to put the programs in
opt deal with changes in recent version of Squid which keeps track of
its pid and doesn't generate as many sub processes as it used to. You
can simply issue 'squid -k shutdown' and it will end the processes it
started, at least in the current production version 2.5STABLE1.

The /etc/rc.d/rc?.d are usually symlinks to /etc/rc.d/init.d/ where
the ones beginning with K are called with "stop" as a parameter and
the ones beginning with S are called with "start" as a parameter. All
files are processed in alphabetical order as the machine runs through
the startup scripts and reaches the correct run level.

I thought maybe chkconfig would autoconfigure things once I had enough
in place.
