Because /etc/cron.hourly/logsentry.cron is not set +x by the ebuild, it's not sufficent to uncomment the logwatch-line in this file to run logsentry hourly via this script. It has to be set +x to be executed, because /usr/sbin/run-crons checks if the script is executable instead of sourcing it. chmod u+x /etc/cron.hourly/logsentry.cron does the trick (or add the line directly to root's crontab, as the ebuild says). Reproducible: Didn't try Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge logsentry 2. ls -l /etc/cron.hourly Actual Results: ~: ls -l /etc/cron.hourly -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 168 Oct 12 20:31 logsentry.cron Expected Results: ~: ls -l /etc/cron.hourly -rwxr--r-- 1 root root 168 Oct 12 20:31 logsentry.cron
Fixed. Thanks for the report.
