How do I change the e-mail address where LogWatch and Cron.Daily send their reports to? Thanks.

/etc/log.d/logwatch.conf

Thanks aerostar, do you know where to change the Cron.Daily?

cron.daily is a directory. There should be a logwatch cron in that folder to run logwatch nightly to email the report.

alex042,

I meant where can I change the e-mail address to which the daily cron report is being sent. Thanks.

Well, for logwatch, you can just edit the logwatch.conf file. There's a line in there to tell logwatch where to send it's email.

I don't think you need to retstart the cron deamon.

That will change the email address for cron.daily/hourly/weekly/monthly and any others you have in there.

Or

If you only want to change the output email from cron.daily (and not the others) add

to the end of the cron.daily line
(I think that should work - can't login to check at the moment)

Use at your own risk.

or

If you use cPanel I'm pretty sure there is an option in WHM to send root's email to elsewhere.

I stop getting e-mails from Cron Daemon on cron.daily since a couple weeks ago. I still get chkrootkitscan report though. Anyone know where to starting looking?
