this is very common on debian-based systems.

are you sure you don't run debian? ;-)
I would just like to avoit redirecting stderr to /dev/null
- if something bad happens, you should know it and not flush the info


/var/log/squid/*.log {
        daily
        compress
        delaycompress
        rotate 31
        missingok
        nocreate
        sharedscripts
        prerotate
                test ! -x /usr/sbin/sarg-reports || /usr/sbin/sarg-reports daily
        endscript
        postrotate
                test ! -e /var/run/squid.pid || test ! -x /usr/sbin/squid || /usr/sbin/squid -k rotate
        endscript
}
