There are several things I want to work on when I get back onto a 'real network' next week ... Matt @ Dragonfly has asked for some 'network detection' code to be added, to check if there is even a network connected, before he'll add it to there base system ... and someone else suggested adding code similar to postfix's port to have *it* prompt and auto-add the appropriate lines to /etc/periodic.conf ...
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? :-)
Patch applied, and I added a yesno for actually running the script right then also ...
