Hi,

You can have your own shell scripts for rotating log
files or you can use
#/usr/local/squid/bin/squid -k rotate in crond.

This will stop growing the log files.

You need not worry about cache grow. You can tune this
settings in squid.conf

See the directives

        #cache_swap_low 90

        #cache_swap_high 95

Note:
        Let cache size is 1000 MB.
        cache_swap_low refers that when cache size reaches
900 MB, cache object replacement begins.
        Cache_swap_high refers that when cache size reaches
950 MB, cache object replacement reaches aggressive
phase.
        This is to make sure always cache size 50 MB is free.

Hope this helps.
