The easy way to run 'ipfw resetlog' each day is to run it out of
/etc/daily.local:
#!/bin/sh
PATH=/usr/bin:/bin:/sbin ; export PATH
ipfw resetlog
#
# That's All Folks!
#
If /etc/daily.local exists, by default the periodic scripts will run
it after all the other daily scripts. Similarly weekly.local or
monthly.local could be used if you want to run at a different
frequency.
Cheers,
Matthew
