Thanks Amos and Alex,

I am aware of those 2 links. They are the basis for what I think I know so far. 
What I'm really wanting though is which directives can be safely omitted from 
the disker and coordinator process config. As Amos pointed out there is the 
possibility of inadvertently allowing those processes to use defaults instead 
of "no config".

I will admit that the primary reason for this exercise is to remove anything 
with helpers from those processes due to helper design issues. They will 
eventually be re-coded but currently the disker and coordinator are starting 
the helpers needlessly. Using idle= is not an option here.

I'm open to alternative methods and agree that those processes should not act 
on directives that are not useful. I was under the impression that 
${process_name} was for that purpose since it is not usable in conditionals. I 
guess it boils down to which directives are safe to apply to workers but not 
the others? I'm working with squid-4.16 and starting to test on 5.

Thanks again for the help
Senor

I do not see information on SMP awareness of modern Squid features on
the above wiki page. There is a lot more info about that at
https://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale#What_can_workers_share.3F
