Thanks for the speedy reply. I already have that line in the crontab. Are you saying I can't use the $KOHA_CRON_PATH and need to replace that with the actual path? I have $KOHA_CRON_PATH defined at the beginning of the crontab. Brendan Gallagher wrote:
Hi Tim --
You are at the right place for what you want...
That script needs to be placed in your crontab and you need to replace the first part of it with your path to koha_cronjobs.
So that script will have items age to longoverdue after 20 days and then become lost after 100 days and charge the patron replacement fees.

Running Koha 3, we're having all items marked long overdue one day after the due date and patrons are charged the items replacement price. Our LOST status is 1=lost and 2=long overdue. The crontab entry is from crontab.example
10 21 * * 1 $USER $KOHA_CRON_PATH/longoverdue.pl --lost 20=2 --lost 100=1 --charge 1 --confirm
What else should I be checking to get long overdues to wait till books ar long ovedue?
