Hi all,

I would like to propose the following feature requests for TeX Live.

1) Can the installer ask if a cron job will be installed that will check 
twice a day if updates are available and will pop up tlmgr GUI? This is 
the same idea as Ubuntu's update manager.

2) Can the installer offer an option to enable e-mail notification when 
updates are available for server installation? This is the same idea as 
http://www.digipedia.pl/man/doc/view/apticron.1/

3) Also provide documentation to enable, disable and configure this 
after an installation has been done.

Apticron is scheduled for 13:00 and 19:00 hours. Perhaps 13:10 and 19:10 
would be conveniend times.

Best regards,

Pander
