[squid-users] Re: Squid permission on log files

Thanks for your quicker replies.

              Actually there is nothing except "squid -k rotate" lines
inside that script. Below is my script line

#!/bin/sh

squid -k rotate

chmod 644 /var/log/squid/access.log

---------------------------------------

By writing the line in /etc/newsyslog.conf file, there is a problem, I
have to sighup the squid process manually. Any other tips so that log
files will be rotated automatically without changing the read permission
for the file?

Thanks
Bsal
