    I might be reading this wrong, but the "ExecStart" command is a shell script
    which basically says "if the $START_DAEMON variable does not equal 'true', >>> then echo 'aborted' and stop". Given you get sh printing the word 'aborted',
    I think you're reading that branch.
    Did you set "START_DAEMON=true" in /etc/default/fwlogwatch or similar?
    there is no such stuff in the confs...

    I reply to you on debian-user-french yesterday

    fwlogwatch.service use /lib/systemd/system/fwlogwatch.service
    which use conf file /etc/default/fwlogwatch
    and if START_DAEMON is not "true" it does exit 1
    So you just need to put in /etc/default/fwlogwatch
    START_DAEMON='true'

    Did you check the right file /etc/default/fwlogwatch ? What version do
    you have ? Provide us :
    dpkg -l fwlogwatch

    ~/Bureau$ dpkg -l fwlogwatch

    ii fwlogwatch 1.4-4 amd64 Firewall log analyzer

    apt says it it upto date.


    here is what the cron daily conf says for it :
    [..]
    as said, /etc/fwlogwatch.config is all commented out except for the pid
    file.

    I don't know where you find "/etc/fwlogwatch.config"
    sorry, mistaping ;) it's in '/etc/fwlogwatch/fwlogwatch.config'

    in this script I found :
    CONFIG=/etc/default/fwlogwatch

    oups, the only place I'vee not checked... you're right it was there at
    false, dunno why... changed it for 'true'.

    and still crashing...

    looking at the 'systemctl --failed' log it appears that it lacks the '/var/log/messages' directory, another thing that has not been created
    at installation of fwlogwatch...

    IMHO that should be corrected in the installer...

    BTW, now its up and running. :) let's see if I get messages from it ^^)

    Thanks everyone :)
