We're running Squid as a proxy server with IdentD for logging user names (clients are Win2000) and it works fine. In the past, with IIS, every day, the day's before logs were imported to an MS-Access (scream now) database and some users/urls were pulled out, in addition to the filtering we do. It worked really well, but in Squid I'm having trouble doing something similar. I set up a script to try and stop the Squid Service, copy the access.log file to `date -I`.txt, and start it again, but occasionally the Squid service would restart but not keep logging to the access.log file. Currently, Its logging to the access.log file with no rotate. Any ideas on the best way of doing this? Personally I'd like to keep ALL old squid log files forever until I decide to delete them, and have them named by DATE, as its far easier, so LOG ROTATE wouldn't be all that useful. Thanks for ANYONES help in this!! Its beginning to get a bit irratating! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, Dug Stokes Senior Webmaster Gilberd IS Department E: dug@gilberd.com W: www.gilberd.com
