Re: [SQU] logfiles size, logrotate and stuff

Hi All,

Umm, as far as this e-mail goes, usually the logfile
size at my school gets up to about 3.5MB at the end of
the day before it is rotated.

The size of this however is greatly reduced because I
use a bash\sed\awk script that cleans it up.

As far as the size of the logfile goes in relation to
squid's performance, I have not noticed anything that
would slow it down.

However, I agree with you about the squid -k rotate.
This does not work on your proxy servers either.
