3 Each %WIKITOOLNAME% web does an automatic email notification of recent changes. Users can subscribe / unsubscribe themselves in [[WebNotify]] of each TWiki web. The Perl script `mailnotify` is called by a deamon in regular intervals. The script is sending an automated email to subscribed users in case some topics changed in a web within this interval.
5 Installation note for Unix platforms: Edit the cron table so that `mailnotify` is called in an interval of your choice. Please consult `man crontab` of how to modify the table that schedules program execution at certain intervals. Example:
8 15,45 * * * * (cd ~twiki/public_html/bin; ./mailnotify -q)
10 The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The `-q` switch suppresses all normal output.
