Logcheck devel - May 2008 - Bug#479278: logcheck: sending results as attachments uses the "nail" program to mail output

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.63
Severity: important

Setting MAILASATTACH=1 in /etc/logcheck/logcheck.conf causes
/usr/sbin/logcheck to run line 300. Line 300 is this:

echo -e "Report at the attachment" | nail -s "$subject" -a
"$TMPDIR/report" "$SENDMAILTO"

This means that instead of getting mailed a logcheck message, I get a
cron error message:

/usr/sbin/logcheck: line 300: nail: command not found

I won't bother attaching the patch =).


Thanks!
