Here's what I do
----------------

In squid.conf:
    logfile_rotate 0

From cron I run the following script:
-------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh
#
# $Id: squid.rotate,v 1.5 1999/10/14 01:59:46 root Exp $

prog=`basename $0`

ARCHDIR=/var/log/archive/squid
LOGDIR=/var/log/squid
LOGS="access.log cache.log store.log"

cd $LOGDIR

# timestamp the logs
now=`date "+%Y%m%d.%H%M%S"`
if [ -z "$now" ]; then
        # highly unlikely but paranoia never hurt anyone
        echo "$prog: cannot get date - exiting"
        exit 1
fi

for log in $LOGS; do
        if [ -f $log ]; then
                mv $log $log.$now
        fi
done

# get squid to rotate the logs
/squid/bin/squid -k rotate

# if everything worked, move the logfiles to the archive dir
sleep 30 # let squid catch up
for log in $LOGS; do
        if [ -f $log ]; then # the proper log exists
                mv $log.$now $ARCHDIR
        fi
done

# make 'em smaller
cd $ARCHDIR
for log in $LOGS; do
        if [ -f $log.$now ]; then # the proper log exists
                gzip $log.$now
        fi
done

exit 0
-------------------------------------------------------------

By putting the date AND time on the logs, it allows multiple rotations in
one day.
