[squid-users] Logrotate question

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
