Yes, these scripts are ran via cron. By default it is located
at /var/cron/tabs/root (and seen with "crontab -u root -l".)

The crontab is available at
http://cvsweb.netbsd.org/bsdweb.cgi/src/etc/crontab

If I recall correctly, there was a bug that removed root's crontab when
upgrading to 1.6. (My journal for Oct. 8 says: "Since 1.6 upgrade toasted
root's crontab and /var/backups of it, I redid it.")

(As for your build.sh problem, save the end of the build output and maybe
use the -current list for discussion.)
