Absolutely! For "fun", check to see all of the things it does.

Do you need to run it weekly? You can decide that for yourself.
I always run it immediately after an install or upgrade.
And I run it again after adding the packages I use.
/bin/sh /etc/weekly

Did you write a useful script and you forgot where you put it?
locate cool_script.pl
Then you can edit it or possibly want to run it securely?
/usr/bin/perl /usr/local/sbin/cool_script.pl
instead of evil hacker's /usr/bin/cool_script.pl that does nasty things!
try echo $PATH to see what version gets run first.

OpenBSD is a lot of fun and a fantastic system to learn the "right" way
to do things.

My advice is to read a few man pages every day for every program in the
base install.

Also, if you don't like reading man pages as they come up, read man
mandoc and see how you can make them html or pdf, etc.

Have fun! I do.
