[SOLVED] Daily Message

[MTecknology]

Every time I log into my system with SSH I get the following message. I was wondering how I can make it not generate a mail message.

Message 1:

/etc/cron.daily/logrotate:

Starting logswatch...done.
Stopping swatch...swatch is not running.

Same here after 5.0.10->5.0.14...

Well you could check the /etc/cron.daily/logrotate script and modify it so that the output is directed to /dev/null ?

...

actually you are right when answering the first post.... I misread the post, I thought MTecknology was complaining about what was IN the message, not about THE message!

I just care about understanding why it says "not running" instead of "done" when trying to stop it!

Should have pointed it out before... sorry!

[MTecknology]

I modified the file to look like this instead. I'm not sure why the script is like it is by default...


#!/bin/sh

test -x /usr/sbin/logrotate && /usr/sbin/logrotate /etc/logrotate.conf 2>&1
exit 0

It is O/S configured so I guess they wanted the Administrator to know what has happened
