I think this is really easily configurable, you just need to create
/etc/periodic.conf and put your custom setup there. It's not more
difficult than creating a custom rc.conf: you look entries up in
/etc/defaults/rc.conf and then insert your own in /etc/rc.conf. The
same can be done for periodic.conf.

Anyway I have no strong objection to revert the commit and use "-m"
instead of "-k". Would it be ok?

Best Regards
