Note: the following two files reside in the "nightly" subdirectory under INSTALL_HTML.
First, configure crontab to run nightly_job.py once a day, e.g.:
00 01 * * * /var/www/html/nightly/nightly_job.py > /dev/null 2>&1
When it runs, this task will regenerate database statistics and rerun the cleanup reports.
Next, configure crontab to run monthly_job.py once a month, e.g.:
00 02 7 * * /var/www/html/nightly/monthly_job.py > /dev/null 2>&1
When it runs, this task will recreate the "Suspected Duplicate Authors" cleanup report. Note that this process takes a long time and puts a lot of stress on the server, so it should only be run infrequently.
