The primary intention for running it on boot was to make sure that it gets build after a new installation. Many systems don't run over night, so they won't get the nightly or weekly run. That said, the check if everything is up-to-date is too slow, if someone wants to analyze *why*, that sounds like a better idea. Joerg
