Lesley, Lori is right, we'll gladly give you the run down on how to use cronjobs, though most of our partners prefer we take care of it, as it's very much a commandline process on your hosted Koha server. If you'd prefer to work them directly, we can set up your user account on the server to do just that (after we do a training session). Otherwise, just tell us when you want them to fire and with what options, and we'll make it happen. I'll have the team get in contact with you directly to get this moving.

Lesley,
Cron jobs are run at the server operating system level (or your remote Koha server) so I recommend you talk to ByWater.
I'm not sure how much access ByWater gives you to the command line but I'm sure they will set them up for you and also give you a lesson on how to use cronjobs (one way or another!)

Hi everyone,
We're still learning all the ins and outs of running koha in our small public library. I need to set up cron-jobs for our overdue notices and I've never done that before. So far, the info I've found is just the scripts for different jobs and references to having your admin make the changes on your server. Our Koha is hosted by ByWater Solutions. Can anyone point me to a very basic resource for getting these jobs set up (like where to enter the scripts, etc.). Is it something I do on our network server? Or is it on our remote server for Koha?
Thanks for any assistance!
