I recommend moving all of those command line switches from your crontab into the config file(s). The defaults are defined in /usr/share/logwatch/default.conf/logwatch.conf The logwatch maintainers intend users to override those defaults in /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf If you move your customizations to /etc/logwatch/conf/logwatch.conf, then you can call logwatch without any switches at all. Also, something I do and find useful is to leave delivery of the logwatch emails set to the default - root at localhost. Then forward root's mail to my external system at domain account. This way I get any/all system generated e-mail to root (like an mdadm failed array event!), not just logwatch. Hope that helps, Andy Hull
