Hello,

I am trying to get periodic to not send mail to root, and only log,
but have been unsuccessful thus far.


Here are the contents of my /etc/periodic.conf file (0644, root,
wheel):
daily_output="/var/log/daily.log"
weekly_output="/var/log/weekly.log"
monthly_output="//var/log/monthly.log"

Is it perhaps the security log that you are seeing? You are missing:

security_output="/var/log/security.log"

That was it! Thank you.
I really didn't even think to look at that, because the security isn't
enabled in crontab. But I suppose, it had to do with it being noted in
defaults.

Thanks,
Jason
