Hi all, I think what Caroline described would work well for a dev (git) or standard (tarball) installation, while things with the packages work a little differently like Michael describes. So it might depend on your installation type on what you should do. For package installations the fines.pl should be scheduled by default to run daily. Have you checked everything else that might prevent fines from calculating? - finesmode systempreference? - Holidays in the calendar? - Circulation rules correct? For example sometimes it's easy to miss that rules for 'all libraries' might have been overwritten by branch specific ones. Hope this helps, Katrin On 06.08.19 17:07, Michael Kuhn wrote:
Hi
I think this' where my solution lies however the cron -l command replies no cron command for my user account. I have 2 accounts showing i.e. the admin account and the koha_instance account.
I hope i was supposed to run it thru the main account coz thats where I log in.
Or what might I be doing wrong? I believe the cron list should have something. Please advise.
I'm not sure if this is of any help, but in the Koha 19.05 standard the script "fines.pl" is executed in file "/etc/cron.daily/koha-common" as follows:
koha-foreach --chdir --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl
Thus not in any user controlled crontab. Also the path is not "misc/cronjobs/fines.pl".
Best wishes: Michael
