Re: Centos 8 and logwatch

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]



Hmm, it works fine for me, both as a cron job and when run directly. My system was last patched about 2 hours ago.

Are you getting any mail?

$ mail mail
Subject: test
test
^D
$

If you get no message then logwatch isn't your issue. Next check your cron file, it ought to be in /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch

Ensure that LOGWATCH_SCRIPT actually points to the code (typically /usr/sbin/logwatch)

Check that the line for the following line:
OPTIONS="--output mail"

The actual invocation on my system is:
$LOGWATCH_SCRIPT --range="between $day and yesterday" $OPTIONS

As a final resort, edit 0logwatch and add the line "set -vx" just above the invocation. This will generate output which cron will attempt to send to root.

Martin

Hello
I am trying to get logwatch working on CentOS 8. System is fully updated.
Usually install minimal version and then add only necessary with yum.

On CentOS 7: install logwatch and get daily logwatch report on mail.

On CentOS 8: install logwatch but no way to get mail.

Am I doing something wrong? Or miss something?

Thanks in advance
Blaz
