Hi folks I&#39;m after either some signposting to a more appropriate place to ask or a solution. The problem I have is that I&#39;m trying to setup logwatch to monitor a log file for a script I&#39;ve written and am having no joy whatsoever. Here&#39;s the steps I&#39;ve taken and content, ownership and permissions of relevant files (ask if I&#39;ve missed something useful).<br>

<br><ol><li>Setup script to log to /var/log/ssh-validate</li><li>Create script to process logfile (/etc/logwatch/scripts/services/ssh-validate)</li><li>Create logfile definition (/etc/logwatch/logfiles/ssh-validate)<br></li>

<li>Create service definition (/etc/logwatch/services/ssh-validate.conf)<br></li></ol><br>File /etc/logwatch/scripts/services/ssh-validate     root:root    -rwxr-xr-x<br>Perl script, reads from STDIN, outputs to STDOUT, works from command line (using cat /var/log/ssh-validate | ./ssh-validate)<br>

<br><br>File /etc/logwatch/logfiles/ssh-validate    root:root    -rw-r--r--<br>LogFile = ssh-validate<br>Archive = ssh-validate.*.gz<br><br><br>File /etc/logwatch/services/ssh-validate.conf    root:root    -rw-r--r--<br>
