OSX night runs

Hey, I am starting to get used to my new g5 1.8dp, finally. I wondered if any one can tel me what programs run at night (ie permissions, etc), daily, weekly and monthly and what days they run. I saw something that mentioned 3:15am, 4:15am and 5:15am, but could be wrong.

Thanks,
Brian H
 
The nightly/weekly/monthly jobs are in

/etc/periodic

Daily:

Logs are rotated
files in /var/rwho are removed
files in /tmp are removed if they are over 3 days old
amount of time each user has been logged in is reported
NetInfo is backed up
The disk info is listed
various infomation is reported about the system

Weekly:
locate database is rebuilt
manpage index is rebuilt
various logs are rotated

Monthly
Login accounting is reported
vaious logs rotated

The output is mailed to root.
