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)..
