==========================================
Automation of maintenance jobs with cron
==========================================
There are routine tasks that should be performed periodically
from the command line. They can be automated via cron_ jobs
File askbot_cron_job_ has a sample script that can be run say hourly
The script currently does two things: (1) sends delayed email alerts and
(2) awards badges. These two actions can be separated into two separate jobs,
if necessary
