However, the daily digest of email notifications is handled by the
backoffice.  If a Fossil server can sometimes go more than a day without
being accessed, then the automatic backoffice will never run, and the
daily digest might not go out until somebody does visit a webpage.
If this is a problem, an adminstrator can set up a cron job to
periodically run:

>   fossil backoffice -R _REPOSITORY_

That command will cause backoffice processing to occur immediately.
Note that this is almost never necessary for an internet-facing
Fossil repository, since most repositories will get multiple accesses
per day from random robots, which will be sufficient to kick off the
daily digest emails.  And even for a private server, if there is very
little traffic, then the daily digests are probably a no-op anyhow
