However, this appears not to be the case. You're looking in the wrong place. 999.local runs /etc/daily.local, not the stuff in /usr/local/etc/periodic. That's run directly by /usr/sbin/periodic. The local periodic directories are structured just like /etc/periodic. If you want something run daily from that directory, put it in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily. Ditto for weekly and monthly. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
