On a side note, where do the Cron scripts get installed to?
Checking my crontabs with `EDITOR=nano crontab -e` after installing
cronnie is only showing a blank file, both under root and the user I
made for aurweb.
Is there anywhere else they might be installed?

I'm doing some more testing, but SMTP still isn't working.

Am I able to run the send function manually somehow, so I could see
what errors it produces? I'm seeing the `aurweb-notify` command is
available, but I'm not sure what argument I would pass it.

Just reporting back on the issues I had:
The SMTP issue was due to my VPS provider blocking the standard
email ports (25, 465, 587). They let me get them unblocked through
contacting them though, and I imagine it'll work just fine after.
Then I just need to get the TU stuff set up, but that shouldn't be
too hard (hopefully).
Again, thanks!

Sounds good, I'll check things out. Just wanted to confirm I wasn't
missing a value in the config or anything.

If I can get this working, I don't see much of a need to implement
anything new (unless aurweb is being used by a crazy ton of
less-experienced people or something). I imagine I could just
automate it into a Bash script after I figured out the commands
if I really needed to.
Ideally I'm gonna try to not upgrade this a ton too, as I'm making
a decent amount of changes in the GUI, and I don't want to deal
with a bunch of hassle over and over.
Thanks! I'll send a message if it's still not working right.
