Hi, I have a question regarding the execution order of periodic scripts. In the default configuration, scripts in /etc/periodic/*/ are executed before /usr/local/etc/periodic/*/, regardless of numbering.
Surely the sensible thing to do would be to execute scripts in an order based on their numbering of the script, regardless of location? A patch to /usr/sbin/periodic to make this happen would be fairly trivial ... so, I'm wondering if there is a reason that the two are run separately? The way it currently runs there is no (elegant) way (that I can find) to write a local script which updates data before the system scripts are run. This would be nice to have. Should this be filed as a bug? Thanks in advance, Russell -- echo http://russell.rucus.net/spam/| sed 's,t/.*,t,;P;s,.*//,,;s,\.,@,;'
