These are indeed send out twice day per default. The intervals are
set in {standalone,cluster-manager}.rotate-logs.bro and
{standalone,cluster-manager}.mail-alarms.bro. Don't change them
there directly but use similar redef's as these scripts do.

They are gone (sorry). The old bro.cfg and new broctl.cfg are
completely separate frameworks, broctl has been written from
scratch. broctl's README.html has a complete list of option that
broctl.cfg supports. If you find anything missing, please file a
feature request with tracker.icir.org.
