The problem, as I get from Randi, isn't adding the crontab entry (its not required anyway), but that since 300.statistics isn't in /etc/periodic/monthly by default, sysinstall would have to do a pkg_add of the port to get it installed first, *then* add the appropriate entries to both /etc/periodic.conf and /etc/rc.conf so that it runs ... The latter two are doable, but havin to do a pkg_add seems to be the part that is being frowned on ... ---- Marc G.
