[Koha] Items marked long overdue one day after due date

[Brendan Gallagher]

yup --

The KOHA_CRON_PATH is a place holder -- so you know where to put in  
the actual path to the cronjob script

for example on one of my servers it looks like this

20 0 * * * perl /home/koha/kohaclone/misc/cronjobs/longoverdue.pl -- 
lost 5=2 --lost 10=1 --charge 1 --confirm

Cheers,
Brendan
