If I recall correctly, logwatch is run via cron.daily, which
means anacron does it as part of its own routine.
anacron is fired off via /etc/crontab.
You have two choices:
1. edit the whole daily anacron job in /etc/crontab, which will
affect lots of jobs
or
2. move the logwatch job out of /etc/cron.daily to /etc/cron.d, then
reformat it to be a proper cron job (give it a specific time to
run in crontab format)
