I'm using Ubuntu 6.06 for my web server. I've written a Perl program to parse my /var/log/messages file and place certain data into a mySQL database. I use PHP to read that database and create a nice webpage for myself to I can check the log easily. The question is, where should I place the Perl program? It should only be run as root and I'd like to create a daily cron job to run it. Options are (among others):
/bin /sbin /root
?
