This is happening in my installation. The barcode can be entered manually but fails when the barcode reader is used. Is there a patch for this issue or does anyone know how to resolve it? There has to be a way to turn on or off koha email. I've done a lot of Google searching and from time to time I see a command that can be run on Koha - Koha-enable-email (instance). I've check Ubuntu and I don't find this command anywhere. I'm starting to believe this command exists for only certain flavors of Linux. How is Koha email turned on and off in version 3.14 on Ubuntu?

It suddenly hit me that Koha has to setup the email in a message queue to have the messages sent off, so I went into crontab and disabled the Koha job. This is an old Koha Server and Cataloging wants to keep it running so that they can get information off of it. I have moments of brilliance but they are rarely substained. - smile. thanks everyone.

You are better to use koha-mail-disable for this, assuming this was a package installation. It automatically cleans the mail queue every day. If you simply turn off the sending, your queue will slowly grow, and then if you turn on the sending again for some reason (even by accident), all those out of date emails will get sent to people. That's probably something you don't want. If it's not a package installation, you probably want to ensure you're regularly cleaning out the mail queue. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
Good advice and I have been keeping track of the disk usage. Hopefully, within the next couple of weeks, I'll be able to drop this database on this server completely and even consider an uninsall. Unfortunately, this version was a tarball install and I can't find the koha-disable-email command anywhere and I've run find and checked every directory since it might not be in the path.

It only exists on package installs, as it needs to integrate with the way that the OS is configured, which is much harder for a tarball setup to do. PS: no need to CC me in emails to the list, I'm subscribed to it also. -- Robin Sheat Catalyst IT Ltd. ✆ +64 4 803 2204 GPG: 5FA7 4B49 1E4D CAA4 4C38 8505 77F5 B724 F871 3BDF
