Sure, I've uploaded at freefall the set of scripts I have at home.  The
idea behind them was copied a year ago from /etc/periodic scripts.

You can find a sample set of log filters at:

	http://people.FreeBSD.org/~keramida/today.tgz

The tarball contains a today/* hierarchy.  The today/run.sh script is
suitable for putting in a crontab.  The scripts assume that all your
messages go into /var/log/messages, and that they will be able to read this
file.  A bit of editing might be needed to bring today/run.sh into shape.
