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)
