Hi David
2) running cron jobs
OK, so according to what I've see in the documentation, cron jobs are supposed to be in /bin or /misc
Actually they're not. At least not if you're using the Debian package installation as I assume.
Nope.
In /etc I did find the directories cron.d cron.daily cron.hourly cron.monthly cron.weekly
What you are probably looking for are the scripts in "/etc/cron.d/koha-common", "/etc/cron.daily/koha-common" etc. There you'll see the scripts for cronjobs are actually in directory "/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs".
and the file crontab
Is this what I'm looking for? I would like to run the job link_bibs_to_authorities.pl
This is not a cronjob. You run this once you have loaded your title data and your authority data.
where is this and how do I run it? Again, the documentation is not really helpful in getting started here. What does the actual command line code look like for this particular job (assuming I can find it somewhere in some directory ...)
You'll find it in directory "/usr/share/koha/bin". More information about this can be found here: * https://perldoc.koha-community.org/misc/link_bibs_to_authorities.html Hope this helps.
