That's a bit hard as we don't configure stuff for the users. 
Not to mention you still need to register on the site.
And it's not hard to pass it the correct info once then just put

@ 1d smgl-ledger curl

Into a fcrontab(not sure if other crons support @ uptimecycle)

It's not a daemon so what good would this do?

Erm this sounds insane. We'd get so many false bug reports this way
that it would make bugzilla useless. Not to mention it goes beyond the
unix philosophy do one thing and do that well. A second app that would
parse the activity log and query users for spells that are cast to file
bugs might be usefull though.
