Taking a break from mailpak-1.3, I found I needed some periodic timer
execution stuff, and Paul Vixie's cron didn't quite fill the bill - I
needed something simpler ... something like the old /etc/cron that
ran stuff out of /usr/lib/crontab. Oh, and while you're at it, Ed,
how about at and atrun, too?

Well, folks, within the hour, it should be in tsx-11.mit.edu:/incoming/
periodic.tar. No manpages, a simple README and install script, but
it works! :)

Another quick hack from erc@apple.com :)
