Jeff,
I just have the script in /etc/cron.daily, which according to /etc/crontab
runs
02 4 * * * root run-parts /etc/cron.daily
If you want to run it monthly
42 4 1 * * root run-parts /etc/cron.monthly
Even though I've got NetBSD installed in one of my old machines, I'm not
quite sure if it uses the run-parts mechanism. I remember long ago putting
together cron scripts like yours...(under Linux 1.2 kernels)
