Daily notification

[Potter, G M (Greg)]

I set up a service called test-page that only goes out at 10:00 Friday
morning.  I feel this gives me a warm and fuzzy that it is going to be
working over the weekend.  You could add other days in the timeperiod
if you wanted a page on other days.

I also have a service that checks the qpage queue to see if pages are
stacking up.  This runs once an hour so I have another indication that
pages are working as well.
