This will provide the capability to receive system logs via e-mail. This applies to Fedora 9 & 10. There are many customizable features ([http://www.logwatch.org/tabs/docs/HOWTO-Customize-LogWatch.html/ Logwatch Documentation]), but this will only identify the basic ones.
 
* First, open a terminal window and become '''root'''. Enter the following to install:
** '''Range = yesterday''' (line 65) - additional values are '''all''' or '''today'''.
** '''Detail = Low''' (line 72) additional values are '''med''' or '''high'''. I set mine to '''med'''.
 
This application runs transparent in the background, once daily in the morning. If you want to run it more frequently (i.e. send logs for today), then change the range and execute the command '''''logwatch''''' as needed.
