Squid access.log

Hi,

I run proxy in my office using debian lenny. My problem now is access.log is big as 200M. So i want to slice that access.log into 10M and it rotate weekly.

Code:

/var/log/squid/*.log {
        weekly
        size 10M
        compress
        rotate 4
        missingok
        copytruncate
        nocreate
        sharedscripts
        postrotate
        test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
        endscript
}

Seem when it's exceed to 10M it will not create new access.log. Please assist me.

Thanks.

it won't create anything? do you think the "nocreate" option might be relevant here?? In actual fact it's probably not as your oddly doing a copytruncate too, so it can never not leave a blank file if it truncates it. What happens to the file when you explicitly run a logrotate manually, with the -d option to debug it. Also try using -f to force it regardless of age.
