For a package install, this is set up in /etc/cron.daily/koha_common; it uses koha-foreach to call the script for each instance. I think it's commented out by default; un-commenting it should enable. On Wed, Aug 24, 2016 at 9:18 AM, Scott Owen <sowen@edzone.net> wrote:
So.....if a guy *was* going to add a zebra load line of "koha-start-zebra <instance>" to a cron job..... and try to get said job to run daily @ 7:55AM
Any suggestions of where/how/what to accomplish this ??
Is there an existing cron.daily (in the etc dir ?) that I should use.....or does Koha have it's own crontab/cron settings ?

Greetings,
If you were going to supplement your issues with a cron job, 6:00am wouldn't fix your problem for a whole day. Since logrotate runs at around 7:35AM, it would make more sense to trigger something like around 7:55AM. Sure it's 20 minutes of index-less-ness, but you can be assured it will be there.
Trying to start zebra again with the appropriate scripts will not cause a hiccup. Though, you'll want to redirect output to /dev/null, so you don't get flooded with cronjob emails.

Hi all,
I still seem to be having some issues with logrotate and the zebra service starting up....
I have tried both of the options discussed in bug # https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=16885
(modify postrotate, and modify koha-stop-zebra)
In my case, neither (or both) of them seems to be a "reliable" fix.
Is there any way I could kludge together some sort of CRON job to reload the zerbra service daily ?? (at say 6:00AM) or would this be a bad thing to do ..... ie: if zebra IS running, will trying to load it again cause a major hiccup ??
any other ideas on this ?? With students returning soon, I'd really like to get this off my "to-do" list. :-)
Thanks,
-S

Still no joy on this.
Zebra still seems to not reload correctly.

OK...I tried this, and it seems to have made no difference ?
I'm rebooting the Koha server now, to make sure I have a clean start....I'll try letting it sit for a day or two and see how it goes.
(Maybe after I made the file changes the system needs a bounce ?)

Greetings,
And now for the off-list, WRONG way of doing it, because you don’t want to limp along.
$ sudo cp /usr/sbin/koha-stop-zebra /usr/sbin/koha-stop-zebra.Help MeItMessedUp $ sudo nano /usr/sbin/koha-stop-zebra
Now your goal is to make the stop_zebra_instance function look exactly like the patch lines.
stop_zebra_instance() { local instancename=$1
local PIDFILE="/var/run/koha/${instancename}/${instancename}- koha- zebra.pid" echo "Stopping Zebra server for $instancename" if start-stop-daemon --pidfile ${PIDFILE} --stop --quiet --retry=TERM/30/KILL/5; then return 0; else return 1; fi }
Sorry the message sent too early. Hope this helps. For the record, I’m physically in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, even though the company is in the Philippines.
