Easy use of periodic
The whole periodic stuff probably comes from FreeBSD, as it is very familiar to me and does have man pages:
To learn more about periodic use man 8 periodic for the program itself, or man 5 periodic.conf for the config file.
I guess two options would be helpful, for example if the computer is not running at nights, you can run periodic manually with the following commands at the appropriated time:
And if you do not want to create log files, you can change options in the /etc/periodic.conf file (does not exists and needs to be created). For example to send an e-mail instead, put the following lines into /etc/periodic.conf (change the e-mail address to your own):
Or you can send the log output to nirvana:
The defaults for all options are in /etc/defaults/periodic.conf (do not make any changes in this file). If you want to change something, just add the corresponding option to /etc/periodic.conf.
