Sorry for the off-topic post, but I'm wagering I'll get a _courteous_ answer here. ;-, I'm working up a little subsystem under FreeBSD, and it's activity is reported by periodic(8). After browsing OpenBSD's CVS, I see nothing as robust as FreeBSD's. So, for this subsystem to work similarly under OpenBSD, the script I would put in /usr/local/etc/periodic/daily under FreeBSD would actually have to be integrated into OpenBSD's /etc/daily script? Or would it be [integrated into an existing] OpenBSD's /etc/daily.local? For that matter, would NetBSD's equivalent to FreeBSD's periodic(8) be yet another variation on the theme? I hadn't looked (my bad). Thanks, Dave -- ______________________ ______________________ \__________________ \ D. J.
