WebChangesAlert < TWiki

Each %WIKITOOLNAME% web does an automatic email notification of recent changes. Users can subscribe / unsubscribe themselves in %NOTIFYTOPIC% 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. 

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:
<pre>
% crontab -e
15,45 * * * * (cd ~twiki/public_html/bin; ./mailnotify -q)
</pre>
The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The =-q= switch suppresses all normal output.
