TWiki Notification of Changes
Each netfrag.org 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.
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:
% crontab -e
15,45 * * * * (cd ~twiki/public_html/bin; ./mailnotify -q)
The above line will call mailnotify at 15 minutes and 45 minutes past every hour. The
-q switch suppresses all normal output.
