[-- Attachment #1 --] Hi, I have a question regarding the execution order of periodic scripts. In the default configuration, scripts in /etc/periodic/*/ are executed before /usr/local/etc/periodic/*/, regardless of numbering. Surely the sensible thing to do would be to execute scripts in an order based on their numbering of the script, regardless of location? A patch to /usr/sbin/periodic to make this happen would be fairly trivial ... so, I'm wondering if there is a reason that the two are run separately? The way it currently runs there is no (elegant) way (that I can find) to write a local script which updates data before the system scripts are run. This would be nice to have. Should this be filed as a bug? Thanks in advance, Russell -- echo http://russell.rucus.net/spam/| sed 's,t/.*,t,;P;s,.*//,,;s,\.,@,;' [-- Attachment #2 --] 0 *H 01 0 + 0 *H ?00a@0 *H 0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA0 050425145155Z 060425145155Z0l10 UCloran10U*Russell Andrew1 0 URussell Andrew Cloran1 0 *H russell@rucus.net0"0 *H 0 !M/"NlcZ1{S0A/Ojn#z J35I-]1tpbg']oaIYf8Tz<LhmZT3i{.W"stqw7W ~᧙`zϩo +M3|c)d%eX$τbS`-JRzrEt'f]qt]a_LtJw/?ѯ$R=Ԑ:3ᡱLM m 4 .0,0 U 0russell@rucus.net0 U 0 0 *H p (ר*<n:Q2Y=8k?{ȇB`DcهECFwzɝu"Vac)`] ! /1`&S{W1o>n| 4~=a(FD1g0?0 0 *H 01 0 UZA10U Western Cape10U Cape Town10U Thawte Consulting1(0&U Certification Services Division1$0"UThawte Personal Freemail CA1+0) *H personal-freemail@thawte.com0 030717000000Z 130716235959Z0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA00 *H 0 Ħ<UsUNʙZ hup [v :aQP 0cZ,p+Z?qV˯< 6$*+w=+>@dקe*TH<a@ dr` 00U 0 0CU <0:08642http://crl.thawte.com/ThawtePersonalFreemailCA.crl0 U 0)U "0 0 10UPrivateLabel2-1380 *H HP . fgCL!6 -6/ P p<ab:~ t%Pb'qW%ݩ9 Oe_N4[5MwV!x!5$ F]_eO100i0b1 0 UZA1%0#U Thawte Consulting (Pty) Ltd.1,0*U#Thawte Personal Freemail Issuing CA@0 + ]0 *H 1 *H 0 *H 1 051102125734Z0# *H 11{J Ie0 *H 0ɛGsb/! h9-{*֭5K`=/YDv/%5m]hE=e^d+bd&9x[^ό__ XB.m~( ހOeHa븩\c̺ee[X*8 yBYk< b};jf>r[1iZM ?
