I tried this command as you have it shown above and get
daily: command not found
Besides that, in my daily directory is a whole bunch of stuff,

find is not amoung any of it. Should it be? It's not any big

I'm just curious where it's starting and what is telling it to 
start. None of the other fbsd machines do this.
