This is a little more challenging when you don't have a mailer. I see
it ran:
May 8 03:01:02 lx140e anacron[66134]: Anacron started on 2020-05-08
May 8 03:01:02 lx140e anacron[66134]: Will run job `cron.daily' in 26 min.
May 8 03:01:02 lx140e anacron[66134]: Jobs will be executed sequentially
May 8 03:01:02 lx140e run-parts[66123]: (/etc/cron.hourly) finished
0anacron
May 8 03:27:02 lx140e anacron[66134]: Job `cron.daily' started
May 8 03:27:02 lx140e run-parts[66530]: (/etc/cron.daily) starting
0logwatch
May 8 03:27:17 lx140e run-parts[66530]: (/etc/cron.daily) finished
0logwatch
May 8 03:27:17 lx140e anacron[66134]: Job `cron.daily' terminated
(produced output)
May 8 03:27:17 lx140e anacron[66134]: Normal exit (1 job run)
but no /var/spool/mail/root
So a little digging and I find in
/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
# By default we assume that all Unix systems have sendmail or a
sendmail-like MTA.
# The mailer code prints a header with To: From: and Subject:.
# At this point you can change the mailer to anything that can handle
this output
# stream.
# TODO test variables in the mailer string to see if the To/From/Subject
can be set
# From here with out breaking anything. This would allow mail/mailx/nail
etc..... -mgt
mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t"
So it looks like I need to modify /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf with
mailer = "/usr/local/mycron"
And see what happens next.
