RE: problems rotating logs

I run
        kill -USR1 `cat /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid`
as root and as the user id that squid is running but I don´t work.
Note that in the file cache.log are the following lines although the rotate
don´t really work.

1999/07/20 11:34:53| storeDirWriteCleanLogs: Starting...
1999/07/20 11:34:56| 65536 entries written so far.
1999/07/20 11:34:56| Finished. Wrote 121536 entries.
1999/07/20 11:34:56| Took 3 seconds (40512.0 entries/sec).
1999/07/20 11:34:56| accessLogRotate: Rotating

Do you suggest another solution?

Bye
