Hello everyone Logwatch is awesome. I don't have to do a "less" on each file. I tried to send me the report thought mail but i didn't set up SMTP server. So i changed to the file saving option. I created a file on the user Franck like this " vi /home/Franck/log.log" did a "chmod 750 " and [root@master ~]# logwatch --service all --range yesterday --detail high --save /home/Franck/log.log I get this message "Can't open output file: /home/franck/log.log" Can you explain me why it's not working ?
