logwatch; no output with syslog-ng; SOLVED! (sheepishly)

[tgice]

I'm getting no output when I run logwatch.pl, and I'm running syslog-ng. I know this should work, b/c I have another gentoo machine running the same versions of syslog-ng and logwatch and logwatch works fine on that one. I'm also almost positive that I made no changes to the logwatch config on the first machine that works, and the configurations as far as I can tell are the same between the two machines (as far as logwatch goes, anyway). Obviously, something's amiss though.

So of course this is frustrating as all get out, and I've already spent an hour or more staring at it. Here's to hoping that someone else can hazard a guess as to my problem. The only concrete difference I can figure between the working and non-working machine (besides of course the no-output part) is that when I run this command:

Uh. Yeah, so this is really embarassing, but at least I figured it out (it appears).

So I'd just switched from metalog to syslog-ng (knowing that logwatch doesn't really work with metalog). I'd just done this today. And when I'm running logwatch w/ all these tests, it's looking for output from yesterday. I finally realized this after staring at some of the more verbose debug output.

*Anyway*, when I set it to look at today (or all or w/e), voila! I get output. Of course. Hopefully someone else misses things like this occasionally too, and may find this to be helpful. O/w, I'd try to remove the post.
