Usually I receive a Logwatch report via e-mail everyday, timestamped at 0402 LOCAL TIME.

Today is the second day in a row I did not receive a report at all?

I tried running logwatch as root with --print but after a minute or so, there is nothing displayed and the command prompt is displayed again?

What would cause logwatch to stop reporting things? Where are the log files it uses to build the daily report?

The report showed things such as which updates were installed, current disk space, log in attempts (successful and failed)

It's not as if none of those things happened.

How does Logwatch get started each day? crontab -l doesn't show anything for root?

Thanks for any suggestions... :-)

logwatch monitors log files and services as defined in /etc/log.d/conf/... usually these log files reside in /var/log

the crontab -l is a user crontab, there's also a system crontab defined in /etc/crontab

could your /tmp be full?


There's lots of space on the drive.... can individual directories have limits? i.e. /tmp is "full", even though the drive is not? Even if that were the case, I'd expect some sort of errror message from logwatch when run via CLI. :-(

hmm... have you tried to run 'logwatch --debug 100'
hopefully, it'll pinpoint where it's failing..

I've never gotten the logwatch report from this 3 week old FC5 install on an HP lappy, but the above command, while very verbose, doesn't seem to be indicating any showstopper errors. Any other ideas to try?

I found the problem, mutt is receiving the messages just fine. So how do I redirect them to thunderbird or kmail?
