I have a few nightly commands i need to run every night, i write a lot of my own scripts that run and check permissions, and i also have a second freebsd box that serves nothing more then a backup server that my main server mirrors to via cvsup. I learned to do this via the new book FreeBSD unleashed page 537, if you are interested. Using cvsup to mirror my server saves me many many hours each week of backing up to CDR. My question is this. In /etc/daily.local there are several commands, does my mighty bsd box run them all at the same time, or does it wait until each is finished and start the next job? I need to know because if it does run them all at once it would most likely cause system instability, as well as lag the jobs, and cause some things not to run correctly due to the permission scripts running at that time. Im pretty sure it runs them one at a time but ill ask you guys to make certain. ;) thanks for any answers i recieve.
