Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text. Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the entire enclosed block.

.Sh NAME

|
.Nm periodic.conf
|
|
.Nd periodic job configuration information
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The file
|
|
.Nm
|
|
contains a description of how daily, weekly and montly system maintenance
|
|
jobs should run.
|
|
It resides in the
|
|
.Pa /etc/defaults
|
|
directory and parts may be overridden by a file of the same name in
|
|
.Pa /etc ,
|
|
which itself may be overridden by the
|
|
.Pa /etc/periodic.conf.local
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Nm
|
|
is actually sourced as a shell script from each of the periodic scripts
|
|
and is intended to simply provide default configuration variables.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following variables are used by
|
|
.Xr periodic 8
|
|
itself:
|
|
.Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 2n
|
|
.It Va local_periodic
|
|
.Pq Vt str
|
|
List of directories to search for periodic scripts.
|
|
This list is always prefixed with
|
|
.Pa /etc/periodic ,
|
|
and is only used when an argument to
|
|
.Xr periodic 8
|
|
is not an absolute directory name.
|
|
.It Va dir Ns No _output
|
|
.Pq Vt path No or Vt list
|
|
What to do with the output of the scripts envoked from
|
|
the directory
|
|
.Ar dir .
|
|
If this variable is set to an absolute path name, output is logged to
|
|
that file, otherwise it is taken as one or more space separated email
|
|
addresses and mailed to those users.
|
|
If this variable is not set or is empty, output is sent to standard output.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
For an unattended machine, suitable values for
|
|
.Va daily_output ,
|
|
.Va weekly_output ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Va monthly_output
|
|
might be
|
|
.Dq /var/log/daily.log ,
|
|
.Dq /var/log/weekly.log ,
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq /var/log/monthly.log
|
|
respectively, as
|
|
.Xr newsyslog 8
|
|
will rotate these files (if they exists) at the appropriate times.
|
|
.It Va dir Ns No _show_success
|
|
.It Va dir Ns No _show_info
|
|
.It Va dir Ns No _show_badconfig
|
|
.Pq Vt bool
|
|
These variables control whether
|
|
.Xr periodic 8
|
|
will mask the output of the envoked scripts based on their return code
|
|
(where
|
|
.Ar dir
|
|
is the base directory name in which each script resides).
|
|
If the return code of a script is
|
|
.Sq 0
|
|
and
|
|
.Va dir Ns No _show_success
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dq NO ,
|
|
.Xr periodic 8
|
|
will mask the script's output.
|
|
If the return code of a script is
|
|
.Sq 1
|
|
and
|
|
.Va dir Ns No _show_info
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dq NO ,
|
|
.Xr periodic 8
|
|
will mask the script's output.
|
|
If the return code of a script is
|
|
.Sq 2
|
|
and
|
|
.Va dir Ns No _show_badconfig
|
|
is set to
|
|
.Dq NO ,
|
|
.Xr periodic 8
|
|
will mask the script's output.
|
|
If these variables are set to neither
|
|
.Dq YES
|
|
nor
|
|
.Dq NO ,
|
|
the default to
|
|
.Dq YES ,
|
|
.Dq YES
|
|
and
|
|
.Dq NO
|
|
respectively.
|
|
.Pp
