The following command should trigger Squid instance reconfiguration:

  squid -n 90 -f /etc/squid/xsquid.conf -k reconfigure

If it does not, then please double check that there is a valid Squid PID
file and, if there is, open a bug report that details what happens when
you use that command.

Please note that your email subject says "rotated" while your email body
says "reload" and "rec". You may want to clarify whether you want to
reconfigure Squid or rotate its logs. There is "-k rotate" for the latter.


HTH,

Alex.
