The info on the periodic tasks looks like this:
Daily Script
• If the rwho system has been configured, clear out the old files in /
var/rwho
• Clear out files old files and directories in the /tmp and /var/tmp
directories
• Remove system messages older than 21 days
• If system accounting is on, process the accounting files and gather
daily statistics
• Backup the NetInfo database
• Output the disk capacities and storage available
• Show which filesystems haven't had 'dump' performed on them in a
while (archaic)
• Show accumulated network statistics and network uptime (ruptime)
• Rotate the system.log file and restart the syslog process
• Clear out the webserver log files older than a week
• Run the /etc/daily.local script if it exists
• Run a /etc/security check script if it exists
Weekly Script
• If the /usr/libexec/locate.updatedb database exists, update the
'locate' database
• If the /usr/libexec/makewhatis.local file exists, rebuilt the
'whatis' database
• Rotate the following log files: ftp.log, lookupd.log, lpr.log,
mail.log, netinfo.log
• Restart the syslog process
• Run the /etc/weekly.local script if it exists
Monthly Script
• Run the login accounting process
• Rotate the wtmp log files
• Restart the syslog daemon
• Run the /etc/monthly.local script if it exists
What your script would be doing (if it works) is to clean out the
various logs that help the OS keep track of the work your computer
does each day, week and month.
It's not needed if you leave your computer on at night, as these
scripts are set to run in the early hours of morning (each day, week
and month) as a cron task.
Most of us, however shut down our computers at night and these tasks
will help the computer run more efficiently if it is a long time since
they have run.
