[Koha] Koha Not calculating and charging overdue fines

[Caroline Cyr-La-Rose]

Hello!

I'm not a system administrator, so I'm not sure what I do will work for 
you. Maybe someone else on the list can correct me if this is not the 
right way to do it.

What I do to check my crons is go on my server and type crontab -l  
(dash small "L" for "list"). This gives me the list of all the crons 
that are running on my server.

If the fines.pl script is not there, you will have to add it. So type 
crontab -e (dash small "E" for "edit").

On the next available line, add in your cron. This is what I use to 
remember the order : https://devhints.io/cron

Normally, you want your fines.pl script to run once daily. We run ours 
during the night. So something like

0 1 * * * misc/cronjobs/fines.pl

will make the script run everyday at 1 am

I hope this helps

Caroline
