It will re-set each time you run it, so don't worry if you change your
mind and run it again.  Whatever you chose the last time you ran it will
be what is in the database.

To be honest, that is something that we haven't decided yet.  I see no
good reason why it shouldn't run every night.  My "gut" tells me,
however, that most people who set up services will be anxious to see
them in the registry right away to test them, so I suspect that most
people will continue to use the API call rather than passively wait for
their exciting new service to be registered by the crawler :-)

I'll look into that right away.  It may have crashed?!  Thanks for the
heads-up.
