29.Dt PERIODIC.CONF 5 30.Os 31.Sh NAME 32.Nm periodic.conf 33.Nd periodic job configuration information 34.Sh DESCRIPTION 35The file 36.Nm 37contains a description of how daily, weekly and monthly system maintenance 38jobs should run. 39It resides in the 40.Pa /etc/defaults 41directory and parts may be overridden by a file of the same name in 42.Pa /etc , 43which itself may be overridden by the 44.Pa /etc/periodic.conf.local 45file. 46.Pp 47The 48.Nm 49file 50is actually sourced as a shell script from each of the periodic scripts 51and is intended to simply provide default configuration variables. 52.Pp 53The following variables are used by 54.Xr periodic 8 55itself: 56.Bl -tag -offset 4n -width 2n 57.It Va local_periodic 58.Pq Vt str 59List of directories to search for periodic

otherwise it is taken as one or more space separated email 72addresses and mailed to those users. 73If this variable is not set or is empty, output is sent to standard output. 74.Pp 75For an
