Dear Friends, At last I could found the reason of not calculating fine. To make Koha cronjobs functional, follow the steps, Open a terminal and try the commands, localhost:~# su localhost:~# cd /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs localhost:~# crontab -u root crontab.example localhost:~# crontab -u username crontab.example Above mentioned steps should be try after the Koha installation. Following changes in crontab are necessary, localhost:~# crontab -e change the following values there, # ENVIRONMENT: PERL5LIB=/usr/share/koha/lib KOHA_CONF=/etc/koha/koha-conf.xml # Some additional variables to save you typing KOHA_CRON_PATH = /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs Notes: Enable the Finemode to Production. Goto System Preferences>Circulation>Production Set the time of fine calculation in cron jobs. Default time setting in crontab is for 24 hr live servers. If your Koha server work only day time, set the day time for fine calculation. For example, if your library close at 5 pm evening, you can set the fine calculation time 16.45 pm. Format of the entry is "m h dom mon dow command" Many non techie library professionals confronted the same problem. I hope that, this solution will be helpful for them. -- Vimal Kumar V. Asst.
