So it looks like I need to modify /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf with
mailer = "/usr/local/mycron"
And see what happens next.
# cat /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
# Local configuration options go here (defaults are in
/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf)
mailer = "/usr/local/mycron"
What happens after I made this change and then "systemctl restart logwatch"
was for logwatch to send its output to /var/log/messages
So what am I missing?
The logwatch RPM allows 2 ways to launch logwatch:
- with cron /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch
- with a systemd timer /usr/lib/systemd/system/logwatch.{service,timer}
By using 'systemctl restart' you invoked the later that do not use
/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf but instead:
# This first EnvironmentFile has the Logwatch default variables
EnvironmentFile=-/usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/systemd.conf
# This second EnvironmentFile is meant for system-specific
# customization of variables, including overriding the defaults
EnvironmentFile=-/etc/logwatch/conf/systemd.conf
Ooops.
So to get things back to how they were:
systemctl stop logwatch
And then wait until cron.daily
or do something to kick it off on the next cron hourly...
?
