# 209195 15-Jun-2010 netchild

Add a periodic zfs scrub script.

Features:
- configurable amount of days between scrubs (default value or per pool)
- do not scrub directly after pool creation (respects the configured
number of days between scrubs)
- do not scrub if a scrub is in progress
- tells how to see the status of the scrub
- tells how many days since the last scrub if it skips the scrubbing
- warns if a non-existent pool is specified explicitely
(default: no pools specified -> all currently imported pools are
handled)
- runs late in the periodic run to not slow down the other periodic daily
scripts

# 138061 24-Nov-2004 mlaier

Teach periodic(8) security output to display information about blocked
packet counts by pf(4).

This adds a ``daily_status_security_pfdenied_enable'' variable to
periodic.conf, which defaults to ``YES'' as the matching IPF(W) versions.

The output will look like this (line wrapped):

pf denied packets:
> block drop log on rl0 proto tcp all [ Evaluations: 504986 Packets: 0
Bytes: 0 States: 0 ]
> block drop log on rl0 all [ Evaluations: 18559 Packets: 427 Bytes: 140578

# 94342 10-Apr-2002 gshapiro

Update mail queue related periodic scripts to account for sendmail 8.12's
clientmqueue (submit mail queue).

The new mailq display is only active if both the old
daily_status_mailq_enable is set to "YES" and the new
daily_status_include_submit_mailq is set to "YES" so people who disabled
440.status-mailq won't have any surprises.

Likewise, the new queue run is only active if both the old
daily_queuerun_enable is set to "YES" and the new daily_submit_queuerun
is set to "YES" so people who disabled 500.queuerun won't have any
surprises.

While I am here, remove the [ ! -d /var/spool/mqueue ] checks from
both scripts as the queue directory isn't always /var/spool/mqueue for
the main daemon -- it can be set to anything in the sendmail.cf file.

# 87514 07-Dec-2001 cjc

Long ago, there was just /etc/daily. Then /etc/security was split out
of /etc/daily. Some time later, /etc/daily became a set of periodic(8)
scripts. Now, this evolution continues, and /etc/security has been
broken into periodic(8) scripts to make local customization easier and
more maintainable.

mdoc(7) police:

Avoid using parenthesis enclosure macros (.Pq and .Po/.Pc) with plain text.
Not only this slows down the mdoc(7) processing significantly, but it also
has an undesired (in this case) effect of disabling hyphenation within the
entire enclosed block.

# 65843 14-Sep-2000 brian

Another overhaul of the periodic stuff.

All periodic sub-scripts <larf> now have their return codes interpreted
by periodic(8). Output may be masked based on variable values in
periodic.conf.

It's also now possible to email periodic output to arbitrary addresses,
or to send it to a log file, examples of which can be found in
newsyslog.conf.

The upshot of it all should be no discernable changes to the default
behaviour of periodic(8).
