Re: [squid-users] Log file size limit

Henrik,

Thanks for your response!

Based on that, I would tell that the best way to
accomplish controlling the size of the logs may
be just cron a script that stats the last log file
and, if the size is greater than the limit we
want, issue a "squid -k rotate".

Also, I guess it would be great not to change the
cache_mem option in order to avoid taking too much
time for writing the clean swap.state file.
