-"""Cron script to generate usage notifications for instances existing
-   during the audit period.
-
-   Together with the notifications generated by compute on instance
-   create/delete/resize, over that time period, this allows an external
-   system consuming usage notification feeds to calculate instance usage
-   for each tenant.
-
-   Time periods are specified as 'hour', 'month', 'day' or 'year'
-
-   hour = previous hour. If run at 9:07am, will generate usage for 8-9am.
-   month = previous month. If the script is run April 1, it will generate
-           usages for March 1 through March 31.
-   day = previous day. if run on July 4th, it generates usages for July 3rd.
-   year = previous year. If run on Jan 1, it generates usages for
-        Jan 1 through Dec 31 of the previous year.
