Auto Squid Cache Clean Script

Hi Everyone,

I made script for autoclean squid cache.

First of all you have to create cleansquid.sh script under the /sbin/ folder

#cleansquid.sh

/usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid.sh stop
rm -rf /var/squid/cache/
mkdir -p /var/squid/cache/
cd /var/squid/
chown proxy:proxy cache
chmod 755 /var/squid/cache/
squid -z
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/squid.sh start

Save. And write below command, ( it gives permission execute to script file)
chmod 777 /sbin/cleansquid.sh

and we run the script and squid cache will be cleaned.
./cleansquid.sh

if you want this script runs automatically, you can use crontab.
Example : Every months 1. day, time 23:30 , script will be cleaning auto squid cache directory.
crontab -e
30 23 1 * * /bin/sh /sbin/cleansquid.sh
