As I understand the framework, I can only set the enable to "NO", 
"daily", "weekly" or "monthly".  Periodic will only run it one of the 
periods.  How would I set it to run in all three?  How would I set to 
run in only two of the three periods?

It seems like you could add this functionality by adding stars to each 
end of the case patterns in check_yesno_period.
