If all the mentions process are running fine means, it indicates that your Squid server is running fine.

ps -ef | grep squid

root 31617 1 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 /opt/squid/sbin/squid -D

squid 31619 31617 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (squid) -D

squid 31623 31619 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)

squid 31624 31619 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)

squid 31625 31619 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)

squid 31626 31619 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)

squid 31627 31619 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (dnsserver)

squid 31628 31619 0 15:06 ? 00:00:00 (unlinkd)
