It didn't work so I tried to cut down areas which I suspected might not work

You're using the syntax for a system-wide crontab, ie, /etc/crontab. Per-user
crontabs do not have the middle field listing the user to run as; re-run
crontab -e and try this instead:
@reboot /usr/local/sbin/logwatch.pl
02 4 * * * /usr/local/sbin/logwatch.pl
