The original thread provoked some discussion so someone must care! It's available from http://www.ragnet.demon.co.uk/bev.tar.gz or http://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/incoming/bev-0.1.tar.gz unpack this and then dump the files in /etc, and change the /etc/crontab file as directed. Local files can be set-up without hacking on bev itself. Examples of bev.conf.local and bev.local are provided. I haven't implemented any of the extras to cron to enable catching up of missed runs. From earlier discussions that is really orthogonal to what I am trying to do. I have been running it for a few weeks now and it works. I am going to write a man page in the style of rc.conf(5) over the next week and then submit the whole thing as a PR (baring any negative replies or suggestions for improvments).
