Willy,
You are right, I can actually put it in /etc/periodic.conf.
The periodic scripts all contain the following line:
. /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
This file contains the following:
# periodic script dirs
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic /usr/X11R6/etc/periodic"
On the system where I had the problem, /usr/X11R6 points to /usr/local, so
the scripts get executed twice.
By overriding it with
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic"
the 2nd call is removed.
Regards,
Nicki
