Hi! I just recently started using FreeBSD (ie, about 2 weeks ago). So this might be a really simple answer... I want to have CVSup run weekly. I think that it would be nice to include the output from this run with the rest of the "periodic"ly run scripts -- like the security report that gets mailed to me every morning. An I understand, I need to add a script to the weekly configuration for periodic. However, as this is a local script, I should not add it to the /etc/periodic/weekly/ directory. There seems to be references to two directories: /usr/local/etc/periodic/ and /etc/weekly.local/ Neither directory exists. If I create the directory in /usr/local/etc/ and then add a script directly to the periodic directory, won't it get executed by all of the periodic runs (ie, daily, weekly, and monthly)? Or do I create a directory /usr/local/etc/periodic/weekly/ and put scripts in there? Or should I create the /etc/weekly.local directory? I guess my question is how do I go about adding commands to the weekly run. Thanks, Ricky (ps: although I can't imagine that it would matter, I can use perl instead of sh for the scripts, yes?) ----------------------------------------------------- Richard Morse System Administrator MGH Biostatistics Center 50 Staniford St. Rm 560 remorse@partners.org 617/724-9830 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
