Can someone that has installed BSDstats on your server please email me
instructions on *how* to install it for your flavor of BSD? I do not believe
that either OpenBSD or NetBSD has a 'periodic' system similar to FreeBSDs, and
would like to put something up on the site explaining how to install such that
it runs once a month, specific to each flavors recommended method ...
Wouldn't cron be best suited for this task? That would seem pretty
logical for running a shell script on a timed basis. It's also quite
portable. I read the man page for periodic, but the usefulness of it
seems quite mysterious to me. ;)
From crontab(5):
@monthly Run once a month, "0 0 1 * *".
(personally, I like the 0 0 1 * * method)
