Merhaba Mehmet,

Have you ever tried to run Crontab with squid "-k rotate" option?

Best regards,
Ilker G.

On SUSE Linux, you do not need to configure a cron job executing "squid
-k".
Log file rotation is done automatically using logrotate. The
configuration file for the Squid logfiles is /etc/logrotate.d/squid. It
contains information when and how to rotate the following files:

* /var/log/squid/cache.log
* /var/log/squid/access.log
* /var/log/squid/store.log

By default, they are rotated depending on their size. If you have
configured any other log files (or modified the names), just include
them here. A description of the syntax is available in the man page of
logrotate.
logrotate is run via a cron job daily (have a look at
/etc/cron.daily/logrotate)

Regards,

Peter
