[Logcheck-devel] Bug#542663: logcheck: /etc/cron.d/logcheck runs too often (now every 2 hours)

[Jari Aalto]

Package: logcheck
Version: 1.2.69
Severity: minor


The Default cron setup is:

    2 * * * *      logcheck    if [ -x /usr/sbin/logcheck ]; then nice -n10 /usr/sbin/logcheck; fi

This is extremely too often. Getting huge number of mail every two
hours is filling in the mailboxes.

A more appropriate default would be every 24h (once a day).
