[squid-users] Logrotate question

Rob,
 
It will be different how you implement and use logrotate manually or with the logrotate tools.
What OS are you using?

Hi all,
 
ATM to clear the logs, I do this in crontab, every 3 months
 
0 0 1 */3 * echo "" > /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log and do the same for cache log
 
It works but I want to really use log rotate ie
 
0 0 1 */3 * /usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k rotate
 
I hear log rotate keeps 10 files by default so does that mean I will have 10 access logs etc and also will it keep the file the same ie won't change the size or compress it to save space
 
Thanks,
Rob
