Using the MT-Notifier Queue

• Make sure that mt-notifier-queue.cgi is executable on your server.
• Both the system and blog queue must be on to send notifications via queue.
• Once notifications are in the queue, you must create a cron job to send them:
• cd MT_HOME/plugins/Notifier; ./mt-notifier-queue.cgi -limit=500
• The pathname (in italic) is the full filesystem path to MT-Notifier.
• The limit option (in bold) is the number of notifications to send.
• Schedule the job as often as you would like, but don't run afoul of your host!
• That's it. Now you can queue your notifications!

• Prior to version 4.0.5 the queue instructions were slightly different.
• cd MT_HOME/plugins/Notifier; ./mt-notifier.cgi queued 500
• The pathname (in italic) is still the full filesystem path to MT-Notifier.
• The script name is not mt-notifier-queue.cgi, but mt-notifier.cgi.
• There is another parameter, queued, that tells the script the action to take.
• The final option (500) is the number of notifications to send.
• That's it. Everything else, including the notifications themselves, are the same!
