Willy,
You are right, I can actually put it in /etc/periodic.conf.
The periodic scripts all contain the following line:
. /etc/defaults/periodic.conf
This file contains the following:
# periodic script dirs
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic /usr/X11R6/etc/periodic"
On the system where I had the problem, /usr/X11R6 points to /usr/local, so
the scripts get executed twice.
By overriding it with
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic"
the 2nd call is removed.
Regards,
Nicki

Hello Nicki and FreeBSD friends,

I found a solution for the local periodic scripts that is executed twice.
Various pages on the net suggested putting
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic" in /etc/rc.conf.
This did not work, I found the solution to be to put it in
/etc/periodic.conf.local.

Sorry I missed the e-mail thread completely, but I want to add the
following:
koko ~>cat /etc/periodic.conf
# added by mergebase.sh
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic"
So there is a file in /etc, called periodic.conf with the statement:
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic"
So why do you use /etc/periodic.conf.local? Is periodic.conf.local not
touched by a possible FreeBSD upgrade? Is
local_periodic="/usr/local/etc/periodic" not the default?

Mit freundlichen Gruessen,
