yeah, sorry about that, I typed in a hurry and included the hyphens, 
whereas, on my Mac it's aliased without hyphens (just a space between 
arguments... and i meant a sequence, not a pipe. you know semi-colons 
instead of pipe symbols (i.e. this: ;  instead of this: | ).

Except for that ... <laughs>  seriously, sorry for the typos. As for 
the notion that it doesn't work:

ruptime: no hosts in /var/rwho.

Rotating log files: system.log

that's a 2 second 'job'... the difference being, my alias to run all 
three periodics, consecutively is pera

running all 3 takes about 60 seconds here. your output is in 
/private/var/log  and is daily.out, or weekly.out ... etc
