How to change fine calculation timing: another appeal
Dear Friends, In my experience Koha installation from Ubuntu packages is very convenient and easy to keep update with forthcoming versions. Everything works fine with latest version of Koha. But one problem still haunting me, change of default time fixed to run fines.pl cron. Many users like to change the fine calculation to another convenient time (e.g. 10 AM). Dear developers, kindly guide me how to change the fine calculation time. Regards -- Vimal Kumar V.

Assuming you mean the Debian packages, the fine calculation crons are installed in /etc/cron.daily/koha-common The system crontab (/etc/crontab) specifies when daily jobs are run, however a better idea to try would be to install "anacron". This handles the running of daily cron jobs in a way that is more suited to computers that aren't on 24/7. Basically, if the daily cron jobs haven't been run for about a day, it'll do them shortly after boot, and every day from then. Simply installing this on a debian (and probably Ubuntu) system should just magically work. (caveat emptor: I haven't actually tried this within the past ~5 years or so. YMMV.) -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5957 6D23 8B16 EFAB FEF8 7175 14D3 6485 A99C EB6D
