set rotation options in squid.conf
but even without in only doesnt seem to do anything but it does.
it closes logfiles and reopen.

if you like to rotate by yourself do

#!/bin/sh
move_current_logfiles_to_another_place_or_name
/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -k rotate
#give squid a chance to do it
sleep 30
do_some_logfile_compression_or_anything_you_like

and put this script in crontab
