i have a tool which creates squid reports on a monthly basis. This Tool runs very long (depends how big the log file is for a month of data). If i start it at 0:05 everything is fine until 04:01 where the logrotate script is fired up... which logrotates the squid logfiles (if end of month) away, while the squid reporting tool still depends on it!

How can i solve this problem nicely ?

Make copies of the log files for the analysis tool.
:) hehe.. yep... for a 500MB logfile :)

i thought abouth touching /var/lock/subsys/whatever while the reporting tool is running.

and to not execute logrotate if that file exists for that day!

is there no better solution?

Merry Christmas
