You have been subscribed to a public bug:
The name of the variable $CRON_PARAMS used as a parameter in the daily
cron script does not match the variable $PARAMS defined in
/etc/default/fwlogwatch. So either of them need to be changed.
/etc/cron.daily/fwlogwatch:
FWLOGWATCH=/usr/sbin/fwlogwatch
CONFIG=/etc/default/fwlogwatch
. $CONFIG
OUTPUT=`$FWLOGWATCH $CRON_PARAMS`
/etc/default/fwlogwatch:
PARAMS=''
Furthermore, as of now the cron script is ridiculously inadequate. fwlogwatch
is quite by default, so why make the sending of (in effect) an empty email a
condition for running fwlogwatch?
If this is not true:
if [ "$CRON_EMAIL" = "none" ]; then
exit 0
fi
send an empty email with the subject "fwlogwatch daily news".
I suggest you remove this condition and replace the last 20 lines of the
cron script with an 'exit 0' statement. The actual report will be sent
anyway, namely to the recipient defined in
/etc/fwlogwatch/fwlogwatch.config .
Finally, I suggest you include the minimum required parameters in
/etc/default/fwlogwatch:
CRON_PARAMS='-c /etc/fwlogwatch/fwlogwatch.config'
