Not with any current Squid. The helpers error reporting (stderr) channels are plugged directly into cache.log. So they need to be detached and re-attached by restarting when that log is moved. The cache journal(s) need cleaning up occasionally and are done as well on rotation. If you are using a daemon there should be no need to rotate much. The daemon is fully responsible for the access.logs and can rotate them even without an explicit command from Squid. For example; the log_file_daemon bundled with the latest Squid will rotate access.log on 32-bit systems whenever the current file exceeds 32-bit file sizes and starts getting errors. On the other hand the daemon helper is a separate helper partially so you can write your own and have it do whatever you like. If you do extend the bundled file daemon please consider submitting the patch for communal benefit. Also, why exactly are you asking for this? perhapse it does not exist yet because what you are needing is better or easier done some other way. Amos
