So I installed logwatch
using this guide on a Ubuntu 12.04 box. I also setup postfix
and my initial intention was to add a daily cronjob to email me these reports (I have the same setup on a Debian Wheezy box and it works just fine).
But somehow I can't get logwatch
to actually output anything. No email is sent. To verify the logwatch
output itself I ran
$logwatch --output stdout --format text
but that didn't output anything to the terminal. If I do the same command on the Debian box it outputs the report just as I would expect.
How can I debug why logwatch
isn't running? Nothing seems to be captured in the logs either.
