Re: [squid-users] squid log rotate

Thanks a lot for the mails. i found the problem was
not with my script or cronjob but the variable
logfile_rotate in squid.conf was not set. Supposedly,
the default was to be 10 but again I had to manually
set it to 10 and then I got a fresh access.log each
time the log rotated.
Thanks a lot all, for taking time to help me out.
