Description: Logwatch used to send nightly emails out of the box. Apparently it did so via the file /etc/cron.daily/0logwatch. At least, this is what the wiki page says [1]. However, version 7.5.2-6 no longer sends out emails and the 0logwatch file is no longer in the package. It would be nice if the file was brought back or, as a workaround, if the wiki page was updated with the new setup required for nightly emails.

Additional info:

[cata@voronet ~]$ pacman -Ss logwatch
community/logwatch 7.5.2-6 [installed]
Logwatch is a customizable log analysis system.

[cata@voronet ~]$ cat /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf
MailTo = my@email.address
Detail = Low
Subject = Logwatch for voronet

[cata@voronet ~]$ pacman -Ql logwatch | grep -i cron
logwatch /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logfiles/cron.conf
logwatch /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/services/cron.conf
logwatch /usr/share/logwatch/dist.conf/logfiles/cron.conf
logwatch /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logfiles/cron/
logwatch /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logfiles/cron/applydate
logwatch /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/services/cron


Steps to reproduce:

1. Install logwatch.
2. As root, run logwatch manually without arguments to make sure it works.
3. As root, run logwatch --mailto your@email.address to make sure emails are going out.
4. Nightly emails never arrive.

Workaround:

As root, run crontab -e and add line like

40 3 * * * /usr/bin/logwatch --mailto your@email.address
