Are you within reach to make any difference to the network when you're 
not in front of a computer?
If there are others responsible for running the network as well, they 
should handle it before you have time to worry about it.

If you really want this, then create your own script which writes them 
to a file which is parsed by cron at whatever time you want, and send 
the notifications then (don't forget to delete the notifications file 
from the cron script).
I imagine this can also be done by parsing the logfiles each morning, 
and that might even be easier.
