Logwatch stopped working after I did something stupid

[Knute Johnson]

So I was trying to clean up my /var/log directory and remove some of the 
older .gz files and I mistyped the rm command and erased all the files.  
Now logwatch doesn't send me an email any more, I'm assuming because 
there are no log files any more.  I thought they would just regenerate 
themselves but the base file must have to be there before the services 
write to the logs.  Is there a script or some simple way to recreate the 
base files?

Thanks,
