I just use a shell script to rotate logs: #!/bin/bash # Shell script for rotating squid logfiles timestamp=$(date +%y%m%d%H) filename="ex$timestamp.log" mv /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log /var/squidlogs/$filename /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k rotate ...and then run it regularly by putting something in crontab: # rotate logs once an hour 0 * * * * /usr/sbin/log_rotate.sh -----Original Message----- From: Mark Elsen [mailto:mark.elsen@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Saturday, March 25, 2006 5:08 AM To: lawrence wang Cc: squid-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: rotate bug? > hi, i was testing out squid -k rotate on squid-2.5STABLE12, and i > notice that cache.log and store.log rotate ok (*.0 files are created), > but access.log doesn't; furthermore, if i restart the server, > access.log is emptied, so i lose my old logs. > > if i rename the file after running rotate, it will keep writing to > that one and then write to a new file after restart. > > my access.log is named "squid_access.log" and it's in a non-standard > location; maybe that's why? > It can perfectly be in a none standard location , if so configured and or you are using log pointer directives in squid.conf. Is there anything in cache.log , when yoy try to rotate ? Look both in the end of the before-rotated cache.log (tail-ed) and in in the beginning of the new (head-ed) one. M.
