I'd be a little wary about running it automatically. How about running
it with -p and having it mail you the output? Then you can review what
it wants to do before running it in anger. When run with -p,
revdep-rebuild caches its results in ~/.revdep-rebuild.*, so it will be
a lot quicker to run it for real, only requiring the time for the actual
emerges.
