Got it working easily enough. Exactly what I was looking for! Thanks again for the great help!! On a side note, it might be nice to copy the comments in the .c file you mentioned, to the squid.conf.documented file under the logfile_daemon directive, the one line description there now is a bit cryptic for those wanting to extend the functionality.

But what is this log_file_daemon? > Is that a helper akin to a auth/acl helper that reads info from STDIN? Yes, kind of. It's using a special format with some commands for rotation etc. See helpers/log_daemon/file/ for the default daemon which writes log data to files. (log_file_daemon). This (log_file_daemon.c) also contains an explanation of the log data format. Regards Henrik
