As many of you may know from a previous hint, the daily, weekly and monthly cron jobs are now processed via the periodic shell script.
If you have scripts that need to be run by root on a daily, weekly or monthly basis, you don't have to create a new entry in the system crontab; you can simply save them in the "daily", "weekly", or "monthly" folders that periodic uses. It essentially runs all scripts found in those folders.

The output of your script, if any, is appended to the daily.out, weekly.out, or monthly.out log files. Read the periodic man page for more details.
