Hello,
I'm afraid I cannot address your specific question, however this may
still be helpful...
I recommend moving all of those command line switches from your crontab
into the config file(s).
The defaults are defined in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf
The logwatch maintainers intend users to override those defaults in
/etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
If you move your customizations to /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf,
then you can call logwatch without any switches at all.
Also, something I do and find useful is to leave delivery of the
logwatch emails set to the default - root@localhost. Then forward root's
mail to my external system@domain account. This way I get any/all system
generated e-mail to root (like an mdadm failed array event!), not just
logwatch.
Hope that helps,
Andy Hull
