New SQUID user: How to clear the "access.log" and "store.log" automatically?

yuzuohong · 07-06-2002, 01:33 AM

Hi all,

I'm new to SQUID program. Actually, I have two questions.

1. How to set the limitation size for these two files?

2. I think my current limitation size for these two files is 2GB. Because you know, when one of them reach 2GB, my SQUID stops. So I have to "mv access.log(store.log) access1.log(store1.log)". Then I can start SQUID process. I wonder if SQUID can do this kind of opration itself?

Any suggestion will be appreciated.

You can use logrotate to do stuff like this.

Logrotate is designed to ease administration of systems that generate large numbers of log files. It allows automatic rotation, compression, removal, and mailing of log files. Each log file may be handled daily, weekly, monthly, or when it grows too large.
