logs are usually taken care of by logrotate

contents of /etc/logrotate.d/squid/:

Code:
/var/log/squid/access.log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    copytruncate
    notifempty
    missingok
    nocompress
}
/var/log/squid/cache.log {
    weekly
    rotate 4
    copytruncate
    compress
    notifempty
    missingok
    postrotate
      /usr/local/squid/bin/squid -k rotate
    endscript
}
That will rotate the log weekly and keep 4 weeks worth of back logs. For a network with several people on it you might want to rotate it daily.
