Description kheuer 2001-05-16 08:30:01 UTC 
	Formerly, the scripts run periodically (daily, weekly, monthly)
	sent mail to root with a subject line containing host name
	and script name (daily, weekly, monthly).
	This is extremly useful when forwarding this mail messages from
	different hosts to one address.
	Now (I guess at less since 4.2) the mail does not contain
	a subject line.

How-To-Repeat: 	Look at the daily mail or run one of the peridioc commands in
	/etc/crontab, e.g.:
	periodic daily 2>&1 | sendmail root

The submitter needs to update his crontab file.  The periodic scripts 
should no longer be piped into sendmail (since September 2000)
