How's /etc/logrotate.d/squid file. this is JUST one .
Example of /etc/logrotate.d/squid
/var/log/squid/access.log {
daily
rotate 4
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
/var/log/squid/cache.log {
daily
rotate 4
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
}
/var/log/squid/store.log {
daily
rotate 4
copytruncate
compress
notifempty
missingok
# This script asks squid to rotate its logs on its own.
# Restarting squid is a long process and it is not worth
# doing it just to rotate logs
postrotate
/usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
endscript
}
As you can see, I use the /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate command to let
squid rotate his logs. You can issue this command everytime you feel
the need to.
I got it from below URL
