You might take another look at the wiki page: *"These instructions assume that weewx was installed from DEB or RPM package. If weewx was installed using setup.py to /home/weewx, the weewx logwatch files will be located in /home/weewx/util/logwatch instead of /etc/weewx, so replace /etc/weewx with /home/weewx/util in the commands below."* In general re: the wiki, I think it has too 'much' stuff in it that is basic to how to run a linux/unix(y) system that is already documented in hundreds of more authoritative online docs, tutorials, and howto type sites on Internet. There's a limit to how much the weewx wiki can/should duplicate for basics like logwatch/logrotate etc. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "weewx-user" group.
