The periodic scripts are run out of the system crontab /etc/crontab --
you should have lines like these:

    1       3       *       *       *       root    periodic daily
    15      4       *       *       6       root    periodic weekly
    30      5       1       *       *       root    periodic monthly


	Cheers,

	Matthew
