I have a number of web maintenance scripts (rotate logs, backups, systems checks etc.). Some of these scripts are run by periodic d/m/w and others are run at specific times by cron. My question is can I add a "periodic hourly" entry to crontab and create a "/usr/local/etc/periodic/hourly" directory and put the hourly scripts in this directory? Will they be executed? I don't want to pollute crontab with too many entries and I also want to keep everything logical and well organized so that other SysAdmins understand what I have done. Where is the most logical standard place to keep these custom scripts? Any recommendations? Thanks, -- Scott Gerhardt, P.Geo. Gerhardt Information Technologies [G-IT]
