Hi :-)
was wondering if there were a way to tell squid to clean cache periodicaly?! So I would not have to do it myself.
I am doing this with a cron job in the middle of the night. You might adjust your paths perhaps. Downtime is just about a few seconds.
Works on SuSE Linux 9.2: #!/bin/sh # # delete Squid Cache # Alexander Grüner # # killall -9 squid rm /var/run/squid.pid mv /var/cache/squid /var/cache/squid.old mkdir /var/cache/squid chown squid:root /var/cache/squid squid -z 2>&1 | grep -v "Creating Swap" rcsquid start 2>&1 | grep -v done rm -rf /var/cache/squid.old Perhaps there is even a better idea ? Regards, Alexander
