RE: [squid-users] rotate bug?

I just use a shell script to rotate logs:

#!/bin/bash
# Shell script for rotating squid logfiles
timestamp=$(date +%y%m%d%H)
filename="ex$timestamp.log"
mv /usr/local/squid/var/logs/access.log /var/squidlogs/$filename
/usr/local/squid/sbin/squid -k rotate

...and then run it regularly by putting something in crontab:

# rotate logs once an hour
0 * * * * /usr/sbin/log_rotate.sh

It can perfectly be in a none standard location , if so configured and or
you are using log pointer directives in squid.conf.

Is there anything in cache.log , when yoy try to rotate ?
Look both in the end of the before-rotated cache.log (tail-ed) and in
in the beginning
of the new (head-ed) one.
