 You're absolutely correct.  I was mimicking dnsmasq's ui_msg too closely!

 /bin/sh.

 I've never had an issue with running the binaries directly from launchd.
 You'll notice that the binary is run with it's full path to avoid the
 issue you likely had.  Launchd confirms the event is loaded ({{{sudo
 launchctl list | less logwatch}}}) and will sit waiting for the designated
 time to occur.

 I did notice that, upon running the binary directly ({{{sudo logwatch}}})
 there was an error: /opt/local/var/cache/logwatch No such file or
 directory at /opt/local/bin/logwatch line 751.  It seems we need to create
 that directory.

 I'll attach a couple patches shortly showing how I intend to fix these
 issues.  If they're satisfactory I'll apply them.
