<SNIP> I want to have a report with a mail every day. Wich is the better tool that I can use ?

I use "logwatch" (www.logwatch.org). Everyday I get mail report about my server logs.

Or you could use logdigest http://www.novell.com/products/linuxpackages/professional/logdigest.html - badly documented, but quite well working.

Find it on the 9.2 DVDs (it is also on present in 9.1 AFAIK), spend 10 minutes setting up the ignore.local and you should be up and running.

is there any command logwatch or just the logwatch.pl ? Seems that saving the report to a file doesn't work. Does it work for you? i just run the logwatch.pl in the scripts directory and then keep the stdout to a file including the stderr. What is your method so, your configuration ?
