I think this'd be more suited to being a daily script and should be = turn-offable in periodic.conf. It'd probably also be better to source the rc.conf files and not = bother doing anythin if $sendmail_flags contains '-[a-zA-Z]*q'. The reason I don't like /etc/crontab having this is that I keep all = (well, most of) my machines with virgin /etc/crontab files and all = local root crontabs are maintained with crontab(1). This just makes = the mergemaster bit one step longer (for people who don't want to run = this extra sendmail -q) :-( > peter 2001/02/14 17:34:37 PST > = > Modified files: > etc crontab = > Log: > Manually run /usr/sbin/sendmail -q once a day.
