Yes, I can ;-) 

But! I do have a lot of service jails running at my host, thus I would like to 
omit modifying every jail's /etc/periodic.conf adding:

| daily_status_pkg_changes_enable="YES"    # Show package changes
| pkg_info="pkg info"                      # Use this program

Thanks for that approach, namely adding "pkg -j jailname info" for every jail 
running. Due to my amount of jails I might need to add some looping over "jls 
-N" output instead of adding a lot of $daily_status_pkg_changes_flags.

I was hoping that I could omit programming that functionality myself, but I 
might need to do so.

Thanks for your input and with kind regards,
Michael
