Re: [CentOS] Slightly OT: Cron for Logrotate and Squid

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]




and it's been suggested to do this in Cron, but it *does not* look right
and is the part i'm most concerned about, I drew it slightly out of
context from here:
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Bandwidth-Limiting-HOWTO/faq.html  It's the rm
-f statement I worry about.

#SQUID - logrotate
01 4 * * * root /opt/squid/bin/squid -k rotate; /usr/sbin/logrotate
/etc/logrotate.conf; /bin/rm -f /var/log/squid/*.log.0
####################################################################

Basically don't want to restart the squid daemon on my cache servers
because it's just too too nasty of a proposition.

Any suggestions for the proper way to call logrotate from Cron with regard
to squid in particular?

squid can do its own log rotation...no need to involve logrotate.

squid -k rotate; gzip logfile.0 (multiple times as necessary)


If you want to use logrotate to do it, I suggest a completely separate logrotate configuration file for squid (squid-logrotate.conf)


logrotate squid-logrotate.conf
