Nm daily.conf
Nd daily maintenance
Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Pa /etc/daily
script is run, by default, every night on a
Nx
system.
The
Pa /etc/daily.conf
file specifies which of the standard
Nm
services are performed.
Pp
The variables described below can be set to
Dq YES
or
Dq NO
in the
Pa /etc/daily.conf
file.
Most default to
Dq YES ,
but not all.
Check the
Pa /etc/defaults/daily.conf
file if you are in doubt.
(Note that you should never edit
Pa /etc/defaults/daily.conf
directly, as it is often replaced during system upgrades.)
Bl -tag -width fetch_pkg_vulnerabilities
It Sy find_core
This runs
Xr find 1
over the entire local filesystem, looking for core files.
It Sy run_msgs
This runs
Xr msgs 1
with the
Fl c
argument.
It Sy expire_news
This runs the
Pa /etc/expire.news
script.
It Sy purge_accounting
This ages accounting files in
Pa /var/account .
It Sy run_calendar
This runs
Xr calendar 1
with the
Fl a
argument.
It Sy check_disks
This uses the
Xr df 1
and
Xr dump 8
to give disk status, and also reports failed
Xr raid 4
components.
It Sy show_remote_fs
In check_disks, show remote file systems, which are not reported on by
default.
It Sy check_mailq
This runs
Xr mailq 1 .
It Sy check_network
This runs
Xr netstat 1
with the
Fl i
argument, and also checks the
Xr rwhod 8
database, and runs
Xr ruptime 1
if there are hosts in
Pa /var/rwho .
It Sy full_netstat
By default,
Sy check_network
outputs a summarized version of the
Xr netstat 1
report.
If a full version of the output run with the
Fl inv
options is desired, set this variable.
It Sy run_fsck
This runs
Xr fsck 8
with the
Fl n
option.
It Sy run_rdist
This runs
Xr rdist 1
with
Pa /etc/Distfile .
It Sy run_security
This runs the
Pa /etc/security
script looking for possible security problems with the system.
It Sy run_skeyaudit
Runs the
Xr skeyaudit 1
program to check the S/Key database and informs users of S/Keys that
are about to expire.
It Sy run_makemandb
If the
Pa /etc/man.conf
file exists, runs the
Xr makemandb 8
utility to update the
Pa man.db
database for use by
Xr apropos 1 .
It Sy fetch_pkg_vulnerabilities
Refreshes the local database of package vulnerabilities.
See the settings in
Xr security.conf 5
for details on the actual package checks.
El
Pp
The variables described below can be set to modify the tests:
Bl -tag -width fetch_pkg_vulnerabilities
It Sy find_core_ignore_fstypes
Lists filesystem types to ignore during the
Sy find_core
phase.
Prefixing the type with a
Sq \&!
inverts the match.
For example,
Ql procfs !local
will ignore
Ql procfs
type filesystems and filesystems that are not
Ql local .
It Sy find_core_ignore_paths
Lists paths to ignore during the
Sy find_core
phase.
For example,
Ql Pa /export
will not descend into any directories under the
Ql Pa /export
hierarchy.
This, on a file server, allows to skip
user data while still scanning system files.
It Sy run_fsck_flags
Extra options to be passed to
Xr fsck 8
if
Sy run_fsck
is enabled.
It Sy send_empty_security
If set, the report generated by the
Sy run_security
phase will always be sent, even if it is empty.
It Sy pkgdb_dir
Em DEPRECATED .
Please set
Dv PKGDB_DIR
in
Xr pkg_install.conf 5
instead.
Pp
If defined, points to the location of the packages database.
Defaults to
Pa /usr/pkg/pkgdb .
