Yes, I can ;-)=20

But! I do have a lot of service jails running at my host, thus I would =
like to omit modifying every jail's /etc/periodic.conf adding:

| daily_status_pkg_changes_enable=3D"YES"    # Show package changes
| pkg_info=3D"pkg info"                      # Use this program

Thanks for that approach, namely adding "pkg -j jailname info" for every =
jail running. Due to my amount of jails I might need to add some looping =
over "jls -N" output instead of adding a lot of =
$daily_status_pkg_changes_flags.

I was hoping that I could omit programming that functionality myself, =
but I might need to do so.

Thanks for your input and with kind regards,
Michael
