Once they are published and that the cron task is setup they will do their thing automatically.

I have one product out of stock and was expecting to get a notification, but what I get is a cron report saying, "HikaShop Triggered at 10 October 2013 17:17 Rates successfully updated" I'm not entirely sure if this is what I'm supposed to be seeing? My other question is a have different variants for products, does the Out of Stock Plugin apply to the stock of these variants, or just to the quantity set on the main product page? Any help would be appreciated.

The plugin does not make any difference between main products and variants. The quantity has to be lesser than the stock limited configured. Please note that's a less and not equal. So if you set "0", you won't ever be notified because the product quantity can't be lesser than 0. At this moment you have to put "1".

And you will be notified each time for all "out of stock" products. so you can be notified **several times** for the same product if the quantity is still under the limit when the plugin is called.
