The process starts daily and runs indefinitely and causes 50% CPU load while idling. If I end the process with kill it will be sent by email
/etc/cron.daily/00logwatch:
/etc/cron.daily/00logwatch: line 7: 10528 Killed /usr/sbin/logwatch --output mail
run-parts: /etc/cron.daily/00logwatch exited with return code 137
But I cannot determine what the process is not getting done.
