Re: [CentOS] CentOS9 vs. s-nail
Hello everyone - I did some more poking at this last night, and I think I have devised a work-around. The basic process is to have logwatch output a file and then call s-nail from a script to send the file. Step 1 - Add these lines to /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf: Filename = /temp/logwatchreport.txt Output = file Step 2 - Create a shell script named /usr/local/bin/sendlogwatchreport. It simply a call to s-nail: /usr/bin/mailx -m /temp/logwatchreport.txt \ -s "Logwatch report for centos7.billgee.local" \ -r logwatch@centos7.billgee.local \ --batch-mode \ b...@campercaver.net The "-m" parameter takes the named file and makes it the body of the email message. Note that the default logwatch call to a mailer uses the "-t" parameter which expects the input to be a template. The template includes lines at the top which are turned into the email headers for subject, to and from fields. Step 3 - Modify /etc/s-nail.rc. This line is changed: set asksend changes to unset asksend Without this s-nail gets stuck waiting for user input that will never come. Step 4 - Add the shell script to the cron.daily list of tasks. I did this by creating a hard link. ln /usr/local/bin/sendlogwatchreport /etc/cron.daily/sendlogwatchreport More testing is required for this. I think there are some permission problems. I tried to use the /tmp directory, but files that logwatch puts there disappear before the script can use them. Creating /temp with 777 permissions is an attempt to work around this. When run from a root prompt, logwatch and sendlogwatchreport result in a nicely readable email message. I am not sure what will happen when anacron runs the process. It will take an overnight cycle to find out. === Bill Gee On 1/19/23 15:00, Robert Heller wrote: It is called "Quoted Printable".

Re: [CentOS] CentOS9 vs. s-nail
=20 is an ASCII space character, and =3D is an ascii "=" (equal) sign. I've seen various emailed documents that mangle them as you see, but if I ever knew the cause, my tired old brain no longer remembers.
