When I created my cvsupfile (following the instructions in the online
handbook), there was a statement generated that read, "run
/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L2 /etc/cvsupfile or place in /etc/daily.local
for autoupdate"

I have manually run /usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L2 /etc/cvsupfile a couple
of times, but I am interested in automating this process. I don't see a
file called daily.local in /etc/ on my system. Should I create this file
myself with a line "/usr/local/bin/cvsup -g -L2 /etc/cvsupfile"? 

What are other thoughts on automating this process? how about as a cron
job?

Thanks,

Kirk
