[CentOS] Centos6 - Logwatch not mailing on 64bit
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 server name) but no report is sent. If I run logtwatch manually, by simply typing logwatch as root, I get the mail. Is this a known issue? Is there some information I could supply that would help identify the reason? To the best of my knowledge, I made no changes to the logwatch configuration. Thanks David Kurn ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

Well, can we verify whether the sent mail generated in the /var/log/mail.log? Also, (assuming that you are running Postfix), I assume that the configuration are identical on both 32-bit and 64-bit systems, right?

Thanks David Kurn I apologize to the group; my observations were wrong and LOGWATCH seems to be performing exactly as expected. I was misinterpreting the mail data. ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos

If you haven't make any changes, it would be weird, since it defaults to send email, but you may want to verify this file: /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf And see if this part of the file is commented out or at least set to yes: # By default the cron daemon generates daily logwatch report # if you want to switch it off uncomment DailyReport tag. # The implicit value is Yes # # DailyReport = No ___ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
