Now I'm completely flumfloxed: in root's crontab is this line:
45 4 * * * /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl 1> /dev/null
and logwatch.pl contains,
# if MAILTO is set in the environment, grab it, as it may be used by cron
# or anacron
if ($ENV{'MAILTO'}) {
$Config{'mailto'} = $ENV{'MAILTO'};
} else {
$Config{'mailto'} = "root";
}
So what might be the reason it's not run with the results in my inbox as
they used to be every morning? If, as root, I manualy invoke logwatch.pl
from the command line and pipe the results to 'mailx -s "Logwatch"
rshepard@..." it soon shows up in the inbox.
Your thoughts and suggestions?
Rich
