I am trying to get a logwatch summary emailed to a central address
from a cron job. The tasd was copied verbatim from a system which
does this already. Both are shown below.
host1 crontab -l as root
45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd
--service pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service
zz-disk_space --service zz-network --service zz-sys --mailto
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx
host2 crontab -l as root
45 7 * * * /usr/sbin/logwatch --service http --service imapd
--service pop3 --service sshd --service vsftpd --service
zz-disk_space -- service zz-network --service zz-sys --mailto
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxx #Logwatch summary
My problem is that only the first gets delivered to
support@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx The second gets delivered to
root@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and not to support. It has been a
considerable time since I dealt with logwatch on the first machine
and I cannot remember is there was any special configuration of
logwatch itself to enable this to happen. Does anyone know what I
might be overlooking?
The curious thing is that if I cut and paste the host2 cron job
entry into a terminal window that is logged in as root on host2 then
the logwatch report goes to support as I intend.
