Package: logcheck
Version: 1.4.4
Severity: normal
After the latest upgrade, I receive reports every hour rather than every day as
usual. I changed the /etc/cron.d/logcheck crontab to revert to the previous
behaviour, but nothing apparently changed.
I read in the Changelog that
* Add a basic systemd timer/service for logcheck (See: #1020328)
* d/control:
- Prefer systemd-sysv over cron
however, this change is not mentioned in any of the README files in the doc dir
nor in the man page. Also one of the REDME files explicitely mentions that
changing the frequency involves changing the crontab file.
Please add instructions on how to manage cron / systemd to change the frequency
