Excellent. thats what i thought. thanks a lot -----Original Message----- From: Mike Benjamin [mailto:mikeb@disturbed.org] Sent: Monday, July 01, 2002 6:08 PM To: ro0t Cc: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: How does /etc/daily.local run. /etc/periodic/daily/999.local executes the /etc/daily.local as a shell script. Which means.. unless you're explicitly backgrounding processes or something, the one at a time effect you desire is occurring. --mikeb On Mon, Jul 01, 2002 at 07:16:29PM -0400, ro0t wrote: : 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. : : The unixhideout network. : http://www.unixhideout.com :.
