I have a piece of software I've been working on that gathers stats about
the local host and shoves them into rrd files, with an accompanying web

have a package done up for it, and I'd like to add it to the ports tree
eventually, but I'm stuck on how to get it to automagically add the
cronjob to have the stats gathering script run every five minutes, and I
don't know of any ports that add cronjobs off the top of my head to go
look at.
Is there an approved standard for doing this? It doesn't have to be as
root, either, it can run under a different user. Any advice on how to
get the port to add the user (and remove it properly when the port is
deinstalled) properly and securely would be appreciated as well.
Don't do it automatically. Provide a script that allows users to do it
if they want.
