6.1.1 Logwatch

Instalar o pacote Logwatch, para receber diariamente por e-mail, um resumo dos ficheiros log do sistema.

O logwatch é executado diariamente, analisa os ficheiros log e envia um resumo por email ao administrador (root) do sistema.

root@server:~# aptitude install logwatch

O logwatch enviará os relatórios por e-mail para root; no entanto também pode ser executado mostrando os resultados no terminal:

root@server:~# logwatch
