Is it possible to include Logrotate on PfSense
-
Thanks. But my aims is just to have a copy of access.log each days.
This file is written on hard disk no ?

If you only want to rotate the squid log you can simply stick a call to "/usr/local/sbin/squid -k rotate" in /etc/crontab.

I saw that but my chief want to process on logrotate solution.
So I have the package on /usr/ports/sysutils/logrotate/
But when i try to install this package with "make install clean" i have the message : "make - command not found"
How can I get this command ?
-
Add the developers package or install a developers version right from the start. Btw, this is not officially supported.

I know logrotate is not officially supported but I wish it can works on pfsense :o
I install developper's version and I'll said you my configuration after that.
-
Just be warned, squid will keep writing to the old log if you rotate it with logrotate and you'll be in a world of hurt unless you restart squid or use it to rotate it's own log.
IMO it sounds like your "chief" has a solution that's looking for a problem and isn't thinking clearly ;)

I used logrotate yesterday and this morning a file was created name "access.log.1.gz" .
I wish this afternoon I'll have "access.log.2.gz" .
Do logrotate clean principal file (access.log) after he create a new one ? How it work ?

Uhm… this is a forum about pfSense.
You are asking the wrong questions in the wrong place.

Why not ask uncle google if there are mailinglists/forums for logrotate? -
