<para>
As of Bugzilla 2.20, users can configure Bugzilla to regularly annoy
them at regular intervals, by having Bugzilla execute saved searches
at certain times and emailing the results to the user. This is known
as "Whining". The process of configuring Whining is described
in <xref linkend="whining"/>, but for it to work a Perl script must be
executed at regular intervals.
</para>
<para>
This can be done by adding the following command as a daily
crontab entry, in the same manner as explained above for bug
graphs. This example runs it every 15 minutes.
</para>
<programlisting>*/15 * * * * cd &lt;your-bugzilla-directory&gt; ; ./whine.pl</programlisting>
<note>
<para>
Whines can be executed as often as every 15 minutes, so if you specify
longer intervals between executions of whine.pl, some users may not
be whined at as often as they would expect. Depending on the person,
this can either be a very Good Thing or a very Bad Thing.

Windows does not have 'cron', but it does have the Task
Scheduler, which performs the same duties. There are also
third-party tools that can be used to implement cron, such as
<ulink url="http://www.nncron.ru/">nncron</ulink>.
