>From man 8 daily: These scripts should not be altered. Local additions should be made to the files /etc/daily.local, /etc/weekly.local, and /etc/monthly.local, which will be executed by /etc/daily, /etc/weekly, and /etc/monthly, re- spectively. The *.local files are executed first, which makes it conve- nient to do any necessary cleanup and backup before the script is run.
