1) if sendmail is disabled during installation, have periodic's output logged to files (per example in https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?periodic(8) ) 2) make this the default anyway (logging to files), arguably the vast majority of systems' reporting is ignored :) At least now it could be logrotated out! [22:54.53] <Myke> AllanJude: will you make the installer smart that if the user disables sendmail, that periodic's output will be sent to logfiles instead? [22:55.17] <AllanJude> not sure how doable that is [22:57.20] <Myke> AllanJude: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?periodic(8) <-- see examples [22:57.55] <AllanJude> ohh [22:57.57] <AllanJude> ok then [22:58.04] <AllanJude> should be fairly easy to do then [23:00.02] <Myke> AllanJude: I'd argue logging periodic to files should become the default since I'm willing to bet 99% of fBSD machines' output is ignored. [23:00.34] <AllanJude> Myke: that is a reasonable idea for freebsd 12 [23:00.42] <Myke> :) [23:00.55] <AllanJude> want to email that to freebsd-current_at_freebsd.org [23:00.57] <AllanJude> and then i'll do it ;)Received on Mon Jan 08 2018 - 03:07:15 UTC
