[Koha] Seeking basic intro on cron-jobs

[Ian Walls]

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.

Cheers,

>> Hi everyone,
