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 scripts.
60This list is always prefixed with
61.Pa /etc/periodic ,
62and is only used when an argument to
63.Xr periodic 8
64is not an absolute directory name.
65.It Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _output
66.Pq Vt path No or Vt list
67What to do with the output of the scripts executed from
68the directory
69.Ar dir .
70If this variable is set to an absolute path name, output is logged to
71that file, 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 unattended machine, suitable values for
76.Va daily_output ,
77.Va weekly_output ,
78and
79.Va monthly_output
80might be
81.Dq Li /var/log/daily.log ,
82.Dq Li /var/log/weekly.log ,
83and
84.Dq Li /var/log/monthly.log
85respectively, as
86.Xr newsyslog 8
87will rotate these files (if they exists) at the appropriate times.
88.It Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _show_success
89.It Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _show_info
90.It Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _show_badconfig
91.Pq Vt bool
92These variables control whether
93.Xr periodic 8
94will mask the output of the executed scripts based on their return code
95(where
96.Ar dir
97is the base directory name in which each script resides).
98If the return code of a script is
99.Sq 0
100and
101.Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _show_success
102is set to
103.Dq Li NO ,
104.Xr periodic 8
105will mask the script's output.
106If the return code of a script is
107.Sq 1
108and
109.Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _show_info
110is set to
111.Dq Li NO ,
112.Xr periodic 8
113will mask the script's output.
114If the return code of a script is
115.Sq 2
116and
117.Ao Ar dir Ac Ns Va _show_badconfig
118is set to
119.Dq Li NO ,
120.Xr periodic 8
121will mask the script's output.
122If these variables are set to neither
123.Dq Li YES
124nor
125.Dq Li NO ,
126they default to
127.Dq Li YES ,
128.Dq Li YES
129and
130.Dq Li NO
131respectively.
132.Pp
