Most of the time services are started via the init system you can probably restart your service with
/etc/init.d/squid restart
or on debian / ubuntu you should use the service application
service squid restart
or
service squid3 restart
But maybe we should relay on tab completion to auto complete to the proper service:
service squid<TAB> restart
