- the e-mail subscription feature that alerts users of new items being deposited;
- the 'media filter' tool, that generates thumbnails of images and extracts the full-text of documents for indexing;
- the 'checksum checker' that tests the bitstreams in your repository for corruption;
- the sitemap generator, which enhances the ability of major search engines to index your content and make it findable;
- the curation system queueing feature, which allows administrators to "queue" tasks (to run at a later time) from the Admin UI;
- and Discovery (search & browse), OAI-PMH and Usage Statistics all receive performance benefits from regular re-optimization.
These regularly scheduled tasks should be setup via either cron (for Linux/Mac OSX) or Windows Task Scheduler (for Windows).

## SAMPLE CRONTAB FOR A PRODUCTION DSPACE ## You obviously may wish to tweak this for your own installation, ## but this should give you an idea of what you likely wish to schedule via cron. ## ## NOTE: You may also need to add additional sysadmin related tasks to your crontab ## (e.g. zipping up old log files, or even removing old logs, etc). #----------------- # GLOBAL VARIABLES #----------------- # Full path of your local DSpace Installation (e.g. /home/dspace or /dspace or similar) # MAKE SURE TO CHANGE THIS VALUE!!!
