similar to: logwatch not mailing

Folks Logwatch is doing its thing properly on my 32-bit servers, delivering the report by mail to my root account once a day sometime around 3:30am. On the 64-bit systems, no mail is occurring. From the "cron" log on a 64-bit system, there are lines like: cron-20110821:Aug 21 03:36:23 XXX run-parts(/etc/cron.daily)[9727]: finished 0logwatch (where "XXX" stands for the

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

Hi all, Last week I have migrated 5 CentoS 6.2 servers to CentOS 6.3. In all of them, I receive every day problems with logwatch: /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: Can't exec "sendmail": No such file or directory at /usr/sbin/logwatch line 1040, <TESTFILE> line 1. Can't execute sendmail -t: No such file or directory It is really strange, because I am using default config ...

HI folks, Apologies if this is OT. If it is, please msg me offllist and I'll carry on my searching elsewhere. Where does mysql actually store databases and tables in the filesystem? Thanks in advance -Ray

Hi all, With SELinux in permissive mode and iptables running, I'm unable to retrieve directory listings with ftp. stop iptables, and all appears again. This seems to be unrelated to passive/port modes for ftp client. If this is off topic, please let me know offlist and I'll take my question elsewhere. Otherwise I'll repost with output of # iptables status TIA, ~Ray

Hello, After a yum update last night, I had a CenOS 5.4 i386 system pull in the following selinux updates: Jan 07 21:39:14 Updated: selinux-policy-2.4.6-255.el5_4.3.noarch Jan 07 21:39:31 Updated: selinux-policy-targeted-2.4.6-255.el5_4.3.noarch This machine has SELinux set to Enforcing. This morning, I see I got the following email from Cron: /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch: sendmail: warning:

Hi all, I find I'm in need of sg.c and can't seem to locate the rpm for the generic scsi driver on my CentOS5 CD's. Might someone point me in the right place, please? Thanks in advance, ~Ray

I'm trying to get usable reports out of logwatch on this new system. Looks like the reports are running in an 'unformatted' mode under Postfix/Amavisd. I found a couple of programs, postfix-logwatch and amavisd-logwatch. These sound promising. I am running Amavisd as the frontend to Postfix. Is anybody running either of these as a logwatch filter? If so, is it repetitive to run

Hi folks, I've been trying to wrap my head around this for a bit, done my googling and archive searching but I still can't seem to 'get' it. Here goes: I've a spare drive in my CentOS5.1 box, which (for testing now) I mount manually under /mnt/backup I want to backup the /home tree to that box nightly via rsync (cronjob), so I tried this: rsync -avrogz /home/

Hi all, Please pardon my newbie-ness on this issue....I've a / partition which is full (quite suddenly, actually) and I'm not sure how to fix this. I've searched for uneeded logs, etc in /var/log and /tmp to no avail. The system is CentOS 5.2 and is not connected to the internet, serves as a local LAN server running stock stuff...sendmail, dovecot, apache..nothing strange or

Logwatch is installed, and I am assuming by how empty /etc/logwatch is that it is running from defaults, which I find in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services I want to customize ONE service. dovecot. Do I copy /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/dovecot.conf to /etc/logwatch/conf/services and edit it there, or do I have to copy ALL default.conf/services/* there and modify

Hi List, Centos 5(.2) ships with dovecot-1.0.7-2.el5 and logwatch-7.3-6.el5 However the shipped logwatch is not aware of dovecot 1.x meaning none of the log entries (var/log/maillog) are processed at all. Should I file a bug report on this? Upstream? cheers Henry

After some experimenting I have observed that overriding settings from /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf does not produce consistent results. For example, if I replace the default detail configuration in etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf with: Detail = High It does indeed change the level of detail from the default Low set in

CentOS 6 (amd64) up to date with latest security / bug fixes. The logwatch reports come in plain text even though the config states HTML. <begin /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf> mailer = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t" TmpDir = /tmp MailFrom = logwatch at example.com MailTo = admin1 admin2 admin3 Range = yesterday Detail = Medium HostName = www.example.com Print = No Output = mail

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.
