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@freebsd.org
[23:00.57] <AllanJude> and then i'll do it ;)
