 It has been mentioned several times, that something like FreeBSD's 
 periodic should be used to better finetune the periodic tasks.
 
 For example FreeBSD's periodic.conf has option like:
 
 weekly_output=/var/log/weekly.log
 	or
 weekly_output="admin@foobar.example.org admin2@example.org"
 	or
 weekly_output=root	# this is the default
 	or
 weekly_output= 		# none so go to stdout
 
 Another interesting is:
 
 weekly_show_success="NO"	# default is YES
 weekly_show_info="NO"		# default is YES
 weekly_show_badconfig="NO"
 
 Also it can pick and choose what tasks to do.
