Okay, good point. Should have shared that info. They all email their results to root. Very detailed system Information, which I've been spoiled with I guess. But I really do like Red Hat better, so I may just have To port these over. This document explains what they all do: http://www.svbug.com/documentation/freebsd-default-crontab.r3.x.html The scripts are here: [zuser@unicron /etc/periodic/daily]$ ls 100.clean-disks 310.accounting 430.status-rwho 110.clean-tmps 330.news 440.status-mailq 120.clean-preserve 400.status-disks 450.status-security 130.clean-msgs 405.status-ata-raid 460.status-mail-rejects 140.clean-rwho 406.status-gmirror 470.status-named 150.clean-hoststat 407.status-graid3 500.queuerun 200.backup-passwd 408.status-gstripe 999.local 210.backup-aliases 409.status-gconcat dailyscripts.tar 300.calendar 420.status-network [zuser@unicron /etc/periodic/daily]$ cd ../weekly && ls 120.clean-kvmdb 320.whatis 340.noid 999.local 310.locate 330.catman 400.status-pkg [plubius@unicron /etc/periodic/weekly]$ cd ../security && ls 100.chksetuid 510.ipfdenied 700.kernelmsg 200.chkmounts 520.pfdenied 800.loginfail 300.chkuid0 550.ipfwlimit 900.tcpwrap 400.passwdless 600.ip6fwdenied security.functions 500.ipfwdenied 650.ip6fwlimit securityscripts.tar [zuser@unicron /etc/periodic/security]$ cd ../monthly && ls 200.accounting 999.local -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of inode0 Sent: Thursday, May 17, 2007 11:26 PM To: General Red Hat Linux discussion list Subject: Re: cron scripts for maintenance On 5/17/07, Anne <diabeticithink@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Oh yes, I know about everything that Red Hat includes, how it works, > etc., which is very, very little.

I'm curious about what they do that you find so nice. Maybe if you gave us more details (at least it would help those of us who aren't familiar with them) we might be able to be more helpful in pointing you to replacements. If there aren't replacements, you could do us all a favor by porting them perhaps.
