Dear All,

I have configured Squid 2.5 stable 6.
My all settings related to log are default, thus log automatic rotate
on sunday night. I want this to be rotate on monthly basis i.e. on
30th / 31st night.
where should i make the changes


How are you rotating your logs every Sunday night currently? Does your log rotation include just Squid logs or everything (kernel messages,etc)?

Is Redhat your OS? Basically, you normally use the utility called logrotate to rotate your machine's various log files.

You can check the site below for more information on using logrotate to rotate Squid and Apache logs:

Or simply,

Add the following entry to rotate your squid logs on the 28th of every month at 1 AM in your /etc/crontab

00 01 28 * * root  squid -k rotate  > /dev/null 2>&1


Note: you may need to specify the full path of your squid binary.


By the way, I personally feel that your Squid 2.5stable6 is way too old!
I feel that your time has come to upgrade.

Check out the latest stable release below:

Thanking you...
