 Okay, good point. Should have shared that info. They all email their
results to root. Very detailed system
Information, which I've been spoiled with I guess. But I really do like Red
Hat better, so I may just have 
To port these over. 

This document explains what they all do:

The scripts are here:

[zuser at unicron /etc/periodic/daily]$ ls
100.clean-disks         310.accounting          430.status-rwho
110.clean-tmps          330.news                440.status-mailq
120.clean-preserve      400.status-disks        450.status-security
130.clean-msgs          405.status-ata-raid     460.status-mail-rejects
140.clean-rwho          406.status-gmirror      470.status-named

I'm curious about what they do that you find so nice. Maybe if you gave us
more details (at least it would help those of us who aren't familiar with
them) we might be able to be more helpful in pointing you to replacements.
If there aren't replacements, you could do us all a favor by porting them
perhaps.
