Hi there,
I am running LATEST 3.4- as of yesterday.
I added a small script:

/etc/periodic/daily/500.systemupdate
owned by root:wheel
I set its permissions to be -rwxr-xr-x

this script runs 2 simple scripts from
/root/scripts
both are excutable

#!/bin/sh -
/root/scripts/sysupdate
/root/scripts/portsget

I have the default /etc/crontab
which runs periodic daily among other stuff

cron can't seem to run the scripts
/etc/periodic/daily/500.systemupdate
for some reason.

anything else I have to do to add local
or custom crontab jobs like this ?

I did a killall -HUP crontab
and nothing.
help.
thanks.
