>Description:
The /etc/periodic/*/999.local script will only allow to run a sh script.
Suerly you can put other scripts in cron, but I think it would be nice to
have such scripts run via periodic.conf (and receive daily reports from
in one mail).
>How-To-Repeat:
Try to use anything other than a sh script in there.
>Fix:
Here's a simple diff:
root@ikar:/etc/periodic/daily# diff -uN 999.local.old 999.local
--- 999.local.old Wed Aug 1 22:38:03 2001
