I'm still figuring out how to setup and configure my Koha - using multiple instances via koha-common and koha-create - excellent work BTW, works a treat for testing! After setting Authorities, I checked the system preferences' "dontmerge" and I saw the note about "ask your administrator to enable the merge_authorities.pl cronjob" (I wish I had an administrator 8-) I haven't messed with cron for a while, so I'll be brushing up, but I see the /etc/cron.d/koha-common takes care of the Zebra indexing - I just can't figure out how it handles the multiple instances (isn't it supposed to be running as the kohauser in each case? If I want to add other cronjobs, should I just add to that file, or should I set up a "normal" crontab for root? Should I copy over lines from koha's crontab.example (less the duplicated zebra one of course)? Thanks in advance. . .
