That may have been me :-) Here's a patch that implements something along those lines... anyone care to review/comment on the attached patch? I've only tested it very briefly but it appears to do the desired job...

One thing that would be nice to do is to update any existing lines for the stats, rather than always adding new lines if the user answers 'y'... detecting existing lines could easily be done by sourcing the periodic.conf:

. /etc/periodic.conf

at the top of the file, but I'm not sure the preferred way on how you'd update any existng lines if changes were required... perhaps some grep/sed-foo magic? :-)

Cheers
