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
