The frequency the cron job runs depend depends on your needs and your hardware. The more often you run the cron job the shorter is the delay between the moment a DOI is marked for registration in DSpace and the moment it is registered faster your new DOIs will be available online. If you have a lot of submissions and want the DOIs to be available really quickly, you probably should run the cron job every fifteen minutes. If there are just one or two submissions per day, it should be enough to let run the cron job run twice per a day.
To set up the cron job, you just need to run the following command as the dspace UNIX user:

| Every DSpace installation expects to be the only application that generate generates DOIs that starts which start with the prefix and the namespace separator you configured. DSpace does not check whether a DOI it generates is reserved or registered already. |
That means if you want to use multiple software other applications or even more then than one DSpace installation to register DOIs with the same prefix, you'll have to use a unique namespace separator for each of them. For example, if your prefix is 10.5072 you can configure one DSpace installation to generate DOIs starting with 10.5072/papers-, a second installation to generate DOIs starting with 10.5072/data- and another software application to generate DOIs starting with 10.5072/results-.
DSpace currently generate generates DOIs for Items items only. There is no support to generate DOIs for Communities and collections yet.
