I use logwatch (emerge logwatch) which if configured correctly will email you nightly with log |
| 18 |
reports. |
| 19 |
The main config file is /etc/log.d/conf/logwatch.conf |
| 20 |
I set an aditional MailTo = to my email address & set Detail = High |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
It runs via /etc/cron.daily |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
IIRC the install should create the cron.daily entry for you, if not make a sym link in |
| 25 |
/etc/cron.daily like this: |
| 26 |
00-logwatch -> /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
It runs at 4am every day. |
