run background/daemon tasks at approximately 4 hour intervals from web accesses if they aren't being run otherwise. This ensures they run, although perhaps a bit infrequently; even if unconfigured. This is not suitable for a production site, but may be acceptable for small single person hubs and test sites. The 'cron warning email' now means that background processes are totally borked; probably due to a fascist hosting provider that has blocked process execution.
