RE: Squid and newsyslog

Jason:

I don't use newsyslog to rotate the squid logs but do the following:

Specify the number of logfiles to keep in the squid.conf file:

logfile_rotate  8

Tell squid to do rotate the logs with the command:

/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k rotate

You could do this in a short cron job.

 Subject: Squid and newsyslog
 
 
 I'm having trouble rotating my squid access.log and cache.log with 
 newsyslog.
 
 Here is my entry in newsyslog.conf:
 
 /usr/local/squid/logs/access.log nobody.nogroup 644 7 * 168 Z 
 /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid
 (ditto, but for cache.log also)
 
 I have the pid file, the mode, user, and group. The new log is created 
 just fine with the correct ownership and permissions and the old one is 
 trimmed, but squid does not actually restart. The new logfile does not 
 get appended to.
 
 For now, I have the newsyslog entry commented out and I'm rotating the 
 log by hand, but sometime I'd like to get it working automatically.
 
 For some reason, newsyslog and squid aren't working well together.
 
 Any ideas?
 
 Thanks,
 Jason Stewart

You need to send squid SIGUSR1 (signal 30) to tell it to reopen its
logfiles.  Here's my line:

/usr/local/squid/logs/access.log nobody:wheel 644 7 4  *  ZB /var/run/squid.pid 30

The B flag tells newsyslog not to put a logfile turned over entry at
the top of the file, since squid logs aren't in syslog format.
