Since people are discussing what they want to see in 2.2.6,
I decided to repeat my old posting since it went unnoticed
(there were neither positive nor negative response to it)

/etc/crontab:

# do daily/weekly/monthly maintenance
0       2       *       *       *       root    /etc/daily 2>&1 | sendmail root

This script will not work once a year, and twice a day on another day,
at most places in the world.
(that happened to me once)

I think, that 0:30 or 3:15, 4:30 is safer time.


THere was one more little "annoyance", but could not recall right now.
