-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.
+Each %WIKITOOLNAME% web has an automatic email notification service that sends you an email with links to all of the topics modified since the last alert.
 
-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:
+- You can subscribe and unsubscribe yourself in [[WebNotify]] on each web. Changes are immediate.
 
-    % crontab -e
-    15,45 * * * * (cd ~twiki/public_html/bin; ./mailnotify -q)
+- The frequency of alerts is set by the TWiki site administrator: it could be once a day, every hour, whatever works for the particular web.
+  - On TWiki.org, alerts are sent once a day.
 
-The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The `-q` switch suppresses all normal output.
+See [[TWikiSiteTools]] for information on how to setup the alerts.
