It’s simple, use this command :
# squid -k rotate
This command will rotate squid log files and ‘clear squid cache’ without shutdown and restart squid. This command works in the situation where people have ‘constant cache’ (refresh/reload a page doesn’t work) in their browser
What about squid -z?
squid -z is a command to clear cache after you stopped or shutdown squid. I will use squid -z to rebuild squid cache
