What do you mean with "on a regular basis", cron(8)? If yes, I recommend to change this to "Wow, xxx (which is important for me) has changed, I do a buildworld now."

Has anyone tried > this with rebuilding the system? If you really shut down any service (except ssh) and nobody works on the system: go for it (I'm doing installworlds in multi-user-mode since 2 years, if nobody except me is logged in and no service is enabled, nothing bad happens to the system).
