They don't exist by default any more, but if you *create*
/etc/{daily,weekly,monthly}.local, then they will get run as part of the
appropriate periodic tasks. See:
/etc/periodic/daily/999.local
/etc/periodic/weekly/999.local
/etc/periodic/monthly/999.local
grep _local /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
However, why wouldn't you just setup /etc/newsyslog.conf to rotate your
logfiles? Much simpler and cleaner.
Cheers,
Matthew
