we are using squid 3.2.3 with smp workers. in http://wiki.squid-cache.org/Features/SmpScale it is written that workers can share logs. in the docu it is also mentioned, that one should upgrade to the faster and better logfile daemon. we are using the following (log) config: workers 3 logfile_daemon /path/to/log_file_daemon logfile_rotate 14 logformat squid %ts.%03tu %6tr %>a %Ss/%03>Hs %<st %rm %ru %[un %Sh/%<A %mt [kid${process_number}] access_log daemon:/rzf/produkte/www/files/squid/logs/access.log squid when we start with empty log dir, we have one access_log after squid start. when I now call squid -k roate I get access_log access_log.0 access_log.1 access_log.2 access_log.3 same happens, when I use access_log stdio:/rzf/produkte/www/files/squid/logs/access.log squid I thought workers can share one logfile. so each worker's logfile_daemon get a rotate signal. when I use access_log daemon:$SQUID_FILES/logs/access_kid${process_number}.log squid and do a rotate, I get the access_kidX.log,0. so each worker is rotating its own logfile. so this will work, but can we have on single logfile for all workers and have a correct working rotating? mfg Markus Rietzler <rietzler_software/> Rechenzentrum der Finanzverwaltung Tel: 0211/4572-2130
