NAME
weekly,
weekly.conf —
weekly maintenance
DESCRIPTION
The
/etc/weekly script is run, by default, every Saturday
morning on a
NetBSD system. The
/etc/weekly.conf file specifies which of the standard
weekly services are performed.
The variables described below can be set to “YES” or
“NO” in the
/etc/weekly.conf file. The default
settings are in the
/etc/defaults/weekly.conf file. (Note
that you should never edit
/etc/defaults/weekly.conf
directly, as it is often replaced during system upgrades.)

/var/db/man.db, using
