No, but it only appends to the file, and the log is structured with line records. Squid always writes complete records ending in newline. > I develop real time log-analyzer, so I want to solve the > problem when squid is writing and my analyzer is reading. If in doubt, wait to process the last read line until the terminating newline character is found. Regards Henrik
