Re: [squid-users] Clear Access Log

John,

Fairly simple: just create a little script like the one below. You might
want to put some error checking in before you cat /dev/null into the file.
As far as the ownership and mod settings, the file is owned by whoever the
effective user is in your squid.conf file, and the file is mod 644. The
script below doesn't care, it keeps whatever it had before. Save your
script, make it executable, and put it in root's crontab. (crontab -e)

---start script ---

#!/bin/bash

LOGDIR=/var/log/squid

cd $LOGDIR
cp access.log access1.log
cat /dev/null >access.log
exit 0

---end---

Hope this helps,

Simon
