It depends on what functionality you wanted. If you wanted all rancid
emails to be a daily digest then it would be easy. Edit he rancid
script that echo's to "| mail" (I forget which script it is but I've
changed it before easily enough) and add an "if" statement, "if hour
== 5.30pm, echo $changed | mail" - Assume you finished at 5.30pm each
day and that is when you want your rancid emails to come through. I
have rancid run every hour, so "if time > 5pm < 6pm; send the email".

Cheers,
James.
