Beginners Questions • [Software] plocate and cron jobs report

$

Greetings, all.
  • Installed plocate a while ago and saw this in the output from apt
    Created symlink /etc/systemd/system/timers.target.wants/plocate-updatedb.timer → /lib/systemd/system/plocate-updatedb.timer.                    plocate-updatedb.service is a disabled or a static unit, not starting it.
    Am I supposed to manually enable the service? There is a job for it under /etc/cron.daily --- is it OK to run it manually with
    sudo /etc/cron.daily/plocate
    ?
  • I have local mail delivery set up with exim4. Mail sent to root goes automatically to my regular user account (tested by a manual mail command). Which package should I install for a nightly (early-morningly?) mail report on cron jobs and, for example, BLOCKed actions from ufw?
Off Topic
Is there another BBCode tag for fixed-width font that doesn't start a new line (for, like, emphasizing program names)? Did a little searching but [monospace]text[/monospace] didn't do the trick.
Thanks for any answers.
