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?
It is, and it does.
If I want to add other cronjobs, should I just add to that file, or should I set up a "normal" crontab for root?
There are other cron files look in /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common and /etc/cron.daily/koha-common .
Should I copy over lines from koha's crontab.example (less the duplicated zebra one of course)?
Check that they arent in any of the existing ones, then make a new file if not. Id suggest /etc/cron.d/local-koha or similair. Otherwise when you upgrade the packages you will have to resolve your edited version with the one in the package. If this is a job that should be run by default, then sending a patch to add it to the cron jobs in the packages would be most welcome. Chris
