Is it possible to include Logrotate on PfSense

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?
