[squid-users] Logrotate question

Fri Jun 17 19:06:16 UTC 2022

 i understand it now

cat /etc/logrotate.d/squid
/usr/local/squid/var/logs/*.log {
monthly
rotate 4
compress
delaycompress
missingok
sharedscripts
dateext
dateformat -%d%m%Y
su root root
postrotate
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k reconfigure
endscript
}

needed the sharedscripts to run the postrotate just once for all logs

didnt need the squid -k rotate as already handled by logrotate
