debsecan creates a cron entry which is run hourly, at a random minute, and the invoked script simply does nothing unless a day has passed since the last activity. This was the best thing I could come up with. People keep talking about ucf in this context, but I don't see how it contributes to a solution. (Just make sure that the generated cron entry does not contain any configuration data such as command line arguments.) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
