[Koha] Koha 16.05 - Holds Script - Run Frequency

[Craig Butosi]

Hi all,

Koha 16.05 on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Can someone confirm the name and location of the script that controls the processing of hold requests? By 'processing' I mean when a patron clicks on "Place Hold" from the OPAC, and then that request gets entered into the "Holds to Pull" screen in the staff client. I see in directory /etc/koha/cron.hourly/ there is a script called "build_holds_queue.pl". Is this the one?

If it is, then if I wanted to run it as frequently as every 15 minutes (instead of every hour), how would I go about doing that (I've never had to edit a cron in the cron.hourly folder, only in crontab)? Are there any issues will running this script more frequently than every hour? (We are a library with a user base of about 600, and with a collection of about 50,000 items; by most standards a small library).

Many thanks all!
