You have /etc/crontab, user crons which can be configured via
crontab(1), and periodic(8) - exactly which you use is up to you I
guess. I tend to add my own system tasks to the root crontab, or to
/etc/crontab, but you could add scripts somewhere in
/usr/local/etc/periodic/
Note that periodic is scheduled from /etc/crontab, and the system
default settings can be configured from /etc/periodic.conf (overrides to
/etc/defaults/periodic.conf).
HTH,
Greg.
