BD_PGSQL_PURGE(8)					      System Manager's Manual						 BD_PGSQL_PURGE(8)

NAME
bd_pgsql_purge - summarizer script for bandwidthd (postgresql mode) DESCRIPTION
This program generatet the SQL code that should be run in certain intervals to summarize the data collected by bandwidthd (in postgresql mode) and purge the detailed records. The program itself only generates the SQL code. You need to feed it to your postgresql server your- self, which can be done by piping the output to the psql program. Adding a crontab script that runs weekly and cleans up the database is recommended. FILES

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 stan- dard 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.) rebuild_locatedb This rebuilds the locate(1) database, /var/db/locate.database, which must also exist, in order to be rebuilt. rebuild_mandb This rebuilds the apropos(1) database /var/db/man.db, using makemandb(8) with the -f option. rebuild_whatisdb This rebuilds the whatis(1) database(s). Note that NetBSD provides a default whatis.db for the system manual pages and this may not be needed. (Adjust your /etc/man.conf as necessary; see man.conf(5) for details.) FILES
