Question

Is there a way to activate the EMail Notification on accounts without direct cron access?

I found the following text in the documentation but where can i find the Workaround scripts.

For ISP installations: Many ISPs don't allow hosted accounts direct cron access, as it's often used for things that can heavily load the server. Workaround scripts are available.

Thanks and Regards Michael

Answer

Use any server that has internet access to run a scheduled task that runs the TWiki statistics script by calling it via http. For example, pointing your browser to http://yourserver.com/cgi-bin/statistics will update the TWiki statistics.
