==DESCRIPTION==<br />
This script sends out all the alerts emails for the specified repository and frequency. frequency must be one of daily|weekly|monthly.<br />
<br />
This script should probably be called from your "cron" system, soon after midnight. Something like:<br />
<br />
# 00:15 every morning<br />
15 0 * * * EPRINTS_PATH/bin/send_alerts dookuprints daily<br />
# 00:30 every sunday morning<br />
30 0 * * 0 EPRINTS_PATH/bin/send_alerts dookuprints weekly<br />
# 00:45 every first of the month<br />
45 0 1 * * EPRINTS_PATH/bin/send_alerts dookuprints monthly<br />
Note the spacing out so that all 3 don't start at once and hammer the database.<br />
