9ed55d1192 Another overhaul of the periodic stuff.
All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8).  Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).

f3e285ba7d Introduce /etc/defaults/periodic.conf, similar in concept to rc.conf.
The only change in the default functionality should be that
the output reports are slightly more verbose WRT files deleted.

072229cdbb Revert to rev 1.3 since the sed'ing is wrong. Revisit this after 4.0-RELEASE. 2000-01-27 22:52:43 +00:00

c95a5e9ebd Update the sed action to match the change to "diff -u".
Otherwise the encrypted password of any account who's information changed
was shown in the daily email to root.

12c88fdf8b Copy /etc/cron.d to /etc/periodic per-request of many.
This wasn't done with a repository copy because there was no
history of any consequence.  Flames to me.
