RE: [squid-users] Log rotation.

On a related note, how are people addressing the post-rotate compression of
these logs? I'd be interested in figuring out any techniques that other
people are using...

Squid rotates its log files when it's told to. Something or someone must
run "squid -k rotate". Squid will not do it as one of it's duties as a
proxy, ie unless you configure a cron job, it won't happen.
