sirs:

i installed logrotate.rpm im confused how rotation is automated 
concerning my /var/squid/logs?  

I have /etc/cron.daily/logrotate (logrotate contains this 
line: /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf)

my logrotate.conf has the following lines: 

#rotate log files daily
daily

#keep 4 weeks worth of backlogs
rotate 4

#create new (empty) log files after rotating old ones
create

#uncomment this if you want your log files compressed
compress

#RPM packages drop log rotation information into this directory
include /etc/logrotate.d  (does this line actually work?!!!?)

#no packages own lastlog or wtmp -- we'll rotate them here
/var/log/wtmp {
    monthly
    create 0664 root utmp
    rotate 1
}

#system-specific logs may also be configured here.

and also created /etc/logrotate.d/squid that has the following 
lines: 

/var/squid/logs/access.log{
daily
rotate 5
copytruncate
compress
notifemtpy
missingok
}
/var/squid/logs/cache.log{
daily
rotate 5
copytruncate
compress
notifemtpy
missingok
}
/var/squid/logs/store.log{
daily
rotate 5
copytruncate
compress
notifemtpy
missingok
}

concerns:

-im doubting that my /var/squid/logs arent rotated using line in 
logrotate.conf which says: include /etc/logrotate.d/squid

-and if ever they are rotated, would it take place 
(daily,weekly,hourly) depending on the /etc/logrotate.conf line: 
#rotate log files daily or with my /etc/logrotate.d/squid line:
daily.

Im sorry for the long query..thanks.
