DAILY(5)		    BSD File Formats Manual		      DAILY(5)

NAME
     daily, daily.conf — daily maintenance

DESCRIPTION
     The /etc/daily script is run, by default, every night on a NetBSD system.
     The /etc/daily.conf file specifies which of the standard daily services
     are performed.

     The variables described below can be set to “YES” or “NO” in the
     /etc/daily.conf file.  Most default to “YES”, but not all.	 Check the
     /etc/defaults/daily.conf file if you are in doubt.	 (Note that you should
     never edit /etc/defaults/daily.conf directly, as it is often replaced
     during system upgrades.)

     find_core			This runs find(1) over the entire local
				filesystem, looking for core files.

     run_msgs			This runs msgs(1) with the -c argument.

     expire_news		This runs the /etc/expire.news script.

     purge_accounting		This ages accounting files in /var/account.

     run_calendar		This runs calendar(1) with the -a argument.

     check_disks		This uses the df(1) and dump(8) to give disk
				status, and also reports failed raid(4) compo‐
				nents.

     show_remote_fs		In check_disks, show remote file systems,
				which are not reported on by default.

     check_mailq		This runs mailq(1).

     check_network		This runs netstat(1) with the -i argument, and
				also checks the rwhod(8) database, and runs
				ruptime(1) if there are hosts in /var/rwho.

     full_netstat		By default, check_network outputs a summarized
				version of the netstat(1) report.  If a full
				version of the output run with the -inv
				options is desired, set this variable.

     run_fsck			This runs fsck(8) with the -n option.

     run_rdist			This runs rdist(1) with /etc/Distfile.

     run_security		This runs the /etc/security script looking for
				possible security problems with the system.

     run_skeyaudit		Runs the skeyaudit(1) program to check the
				S/Key database and informs users of S/Keys
				that are about to expire.

     run_makemandb		If the /etc/man.conf file exists, runs the
				makemandb(8) utility to update the man.db
				database for use by apropos(1).

     fetch_pkg_vulnerabilities	Refreshes the local database of package vul‐
				nerabilities.  See the settings in
				security.conf(5) for details on the actual
				package checks.

     The variables described below can be set to modify the tests:

     find_core_ignore_fstypes	Lists filesystem types to ignore during the
				find_core phase.  Prefixing the type with a
				‘!’ inverts the match.	For example, ‘procfs
				!local’ will ignore ‘procfs’ type filesystems
				and filesystems that are not ‘local’.

     find_core_ignore_paths	Lists paths to ignore during the find_core
				phase.	For example, ‘/export’ will not
				descend into any directories under the
				‘/export’ hierarchy. This, on a file server,
				allows to skip user data while still scanning
				system files.

     run_fsck_flags		Extra options to be passed to fsck(8) if
				run_fsck is enabled.

     send_empty_security	If set, the report generated by the
				run_security phase will always be sent, even
				if it is empty.

     pkgdb_dir			DEPRECATED.  Please set PKGDB_DIR in
				pkg_install.conf(5) instead.

				If defined, points to the location of the
				packages database.  Defaults to /var/db/pkg.
