• Halloween is coming! To celebrate the occasion, we dusted off a couple of old skins, and even created a brand new one (Pixel).
    To get into the festive spirit, install the Skins extension.
  • The new Python extension is now available. It allows customers to deploy and manage WSGI-based Python applications on their websites directly from Plesk.
  • The Plesk Mobile apps for iOS and Android and the Plesk Mobile Center extension have been deprecated, and are no longer available for new installations. In Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84, the Plesk Mobile Center extension will be removed from servers during the upgrade, and the Plesk Mobile apps will lose their server management features.
  • The Social Login extension has been deprecated and will be removed in Plesk Obsidian 18.0.84. After that, it will no longer be possible to log in to Plesk with a Google, Facebook, GitHub account, or with a passkey. Plesk usernames and passwords, as well as logging in with a WebPros Account, are not affected.

Receiving 2 different logwatch emails

Hi everyone. I updated from 8.0.0 to 8.0.1 and started receiving logwatch emails (never have before).

but I'm receiving 2 emails they are similar but different in may ways.

one comes from logwatch@ and the file says that its Logwatch version 7.2.1

and other at the exact same time comes from root@ and is version 6.1.2

the results of the 2 logwatchs are a bit different as well.

Any thoughts on why I'm receiving 2 of these? Any feedback is appreciated.

thanks

Multiple cron.daily entries

I found the same situation and discovered that there were 2 entries in

/etc/cron.daily

00-logwatch <-- This is logwatch 6.1.2
0logwatch <-- This is logwatch 7.2.1

In the end I opt'd to delete the 00-logwatch entry.


There were several other adjustments and configurations that I made to logwatch - happy to share if you have an interest.

Hey troy, thanks for the reply.

I also have 2 files.

00-logwatch which is an alias to
../log.d/scripts/logwatch.pl
which is version: 6.1.2

AND

0logwatch which is an alias to
/usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
which is version: 7.2.1

so should i delete the alias AND the .pl file for the older one? or just the alias?

I'd be interested in your other changes as well. Thanks a lot.

In my case I deleted only the link. That way I could always go back to the older version at some point in the future.

As for the changes that I made, there were some very minor customisations I made for logwatch in the /etc/logwatch directory hierarchy.

I added a few lines to ignore.conf and secure.conf to limit the entries reported (search this forum for postings from unixguy for details)

I also found and installed a spamassassin service for logwatch - you can find that one just searching in Google (but it needs a minor tweak I found)

Hope this helps.

sweet, thanks, I'll check it out. Gonna delete that v6 link now.

Have a good thanksgiving (if you're in the US)..
