How to view output of /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily after apt-daily.service is run by systemd?












1















In /usr/lib/apt/apt.systemd.daily it reads that




# APT::Periodic::Verbose "0";



# - Send report mail to root



# 0: no report (or null string)



# 1: progress report (actually any string)



# 2: + command outputs (remove -qq, remove 2>/dev/null, add -
d)



# 3: + trace on




I have set



APT::Periodic::Verbose "3";


in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic. I have set up ssmtp to be able to send mails, and it seems to work, but I don't seem to get mails about the script's output.

  • BTW In Xenial it does not output as documented in case "APT::Periodic::Verbose 2", see bug report

Mail reporting may work by cron system which was used before, but not with systemd.



The output can be seen in systemd journal



journalctl -u apt-daily.service
