Why don't you simply run `squid -k rotate`. It's enough, at least from
the details you've given.

If you want a finer control, add the following to /etc/newsyslog.conf:

/usr/local/squid/logs/access.log squid:squid 644 7 * @T00 J /usr/local/squid/logs/squid.pid 30

You need to send squid SIGUSR1 (signal 30) to tell it to reopen its
logfiles.

PS: Next time, it would be safe for you to assume that we all broke our
crystal glasses, so we cannot "see" what is wrong with your script
unless you show it to us.
