You not reading the posts here ?

Any updates to the elist system are noted and at 23:30 each evening that such
updates occur that change description or title as well as new entries generate
a new On-Demand archive.

This ensures that for those Sysop's that wish to keep up to date for the file
BACKBONE.NA can do so as this file is useful to auto update their Echo areas
when any downlinks request any and this allows their system to automatically
deal with the request without any Sysop intervention.
This method allows their system to auto create new echos into the system and
at the same time helps to request any not currently supported to their
designated Echo uplink.

Of course this does depend on Sysops having a procedure / script / batch
command file in place to extract the files they need and place then in the
correct folder / directory for this all to happen :)

Personally I like auto with me doing as little as possibly when ever 
available.
Keeps my time on maintenance down.
