    periodic(8) can be told to send its output to a file.

    'man periodic.conf' says:

       dir_output
           (path or list) What to do with the output of the scripts envoked
           from the directory dir. If this variable is set to an absolute
           path name, output is logged to that file, otherwise it is taken
           as one or more space separated email addresses and mailed to
           those users. If this variable is not set or is empty, output is
           sent to standard output.

           For an unattended machine, suitable values for daily_output,
           weekly_output, and monthly_output might be
           ``/var/log/daily.log'', ``/var/log/weekly.log'', and
           ``/var/log/monthly.log'' respectively, as newsyslog(8) will
           rotate these files (if they exists) at the appropriate times.

    So, in conjunction with newsyslogd, the problem has been "addressed".
