hi amos,
you are extremelly right !
ive added logfile_rotate 0 directive in squid.conf
and now it working well
here is my test :
[root_at_squid ~]# logrotate -f -v /etc/logrotate.d/squid
reading config file /etc/logrotate.d/squid
reading config info for /var/log/squid/*.log

Handling 1 logs

rotating pattern: /var/log/squid/*.log forced from command line (no old
logs will be kept)
empty log files are rotated, old logs are removed
considering log /var/log/squid/access.log
  log needs rotating
considering log /var/log/squid/cache.log
  log needs rotating
rotating log /var/log/squid/access.log, log->rotateCount is 0
dateext suffix '-20131118'
glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
renaming /var/log/squid/access.log.1 to /var/log/squid/access.log.2
(rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 1),
old log /var/log/squid/access.log.1 does not exist
renaming /var/log/squid/access.log.0 to /var/log/squid/access.log.1
(rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 0),
old log /var/log/squid/access.log.0 does not exist
log /var/log/squid/access.log.2 doesn't exist -- won't try to dispose of it
rotating log /var/log/squid/cache.log, log->rotateCount is 0
dateext suffix '-20131118'
glob pattern '-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]'
renaming /var/log/squid/cache.log.1 to /var/log/squid/cache.log.2
(rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 1),
old log /var/log/squid/cache.log.1 does not exist
renaming /var/log/squid/cache.log.0 to /var/log/squid/cache.log.1
(rotatecount 1, logstart 1, i 0),
old log /var/log/squid/cache.log.0 does not exist
log /var/log/squid/cache.log.2 doesn't exist -- won't try to dispose of it
renaming /var/log/squid/access.log to /var/log/squid/access.log.1
disposeName will be /var/log/squid/access.log.1
creating new /var/log/squid/access.log mode = 0640 uid = 500 gid = 4
renaming /var/log/squid/cache.log to /var/log/squid/cache.log.1
disposeName will be /var/log/squid/cache.log.1
creating new /var/log/squid/cache.log mode = 0640 uid = 500 gid = 4
running postrotate script
*removing old log /var/log/squid/access.log.1
removing old log /var/log/squid/cache.log.1*
[root_at_squid ~]# ls -l /var/log/squid/
total 304
-rw-r----- 1 squid adm 305024 Nov 18 05:07 access.log
-rw-r----- 1 squid adm 1945 Nov 18 05:07 cache.log
[root_at_squid ~]# du -sh /var/log/squid/
584K /var/log/squid/

as u see the named files were removed

thanks alot

regards
