Just curious.
I have these setenv'd & export'd in root's login:
PORTS_DBDIR=/home/My_Ports_Db	# where INDEX.db lives
PORTS_INDEX=/distfiles/My_Ports_Index/INDEX-5	# we're tracking -Current via CTM
in attempt to make them system-wide values.
How could we make the periodic.conf scripts use these values, instead and automatically, please?
I know I might need to setenv them in /etc/login.conf:default entry, too, so cron jobs can see them.
(These are different physical disk drives & mount-points on the development system.  TPTB here haven't provided more disk space, so I move things around like this. <sigh>)
(I put 'Followup-To: -current@' for further discussion if needed.)
