Rather than turn these off you should just redirect their output to log files. Add the following to /etc/periodic.conf (you might need to create it). daily_output="/var/log/daily.log" # user or /file daily_status_security_output="/var/log/daily.log" # user or /file weekly_output="/var/log/weekly.log" # user or /file monthly_output="/var/log/monthly.log" # user or /file This will send the output to those files and not fill up root's mailbox, but you still have the output if you need it. -philip On Fri, 23 Aug 2002, Henning, Brian wrote: > Hello- > i get automatic emails from root reguarding the system security. i looked to > see if there was a crontab for it, but i didn't see it anywhere. how can i > turn these on or off. > > thanks, > brian > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
