[squid-users] Logrotate with postrotate script

[Roberto Carna]

Dear, I've installed Squid3 with log rotation by default.

I've analyzed the /etc/logrotate.d/squid3 file, and I can see this lines:

postrotate
                test ! -e /var/run/squid3.pid || /usr/sbin/squid3 -k rotate
endscript

Why is the reason of the "test ! -e /var/run/squid3.pid ||
/usr/sbin/squid3 -k rotate" command ??? Can yuo explain to me in
detail please ??? Because I think if I delete this line, the logrotae
config file is correct.

Thanks in advance.

Roberto
