About this cronjob: Usually it is active, as far as I know. However 
check your file "/etc/cron.daily/koha.common" for an active line like 
the following. In Koha 18.11 it looks like this:

koha-foreach --chdir --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/fines.pl

Of course, to work this needs a running cron daemon.

Also see
* https://koha-community.org/manual/18.11/en/html/cron_jobs.html#fines

By the way: The given path there ("misc/cronjobs/fines.pl") is wrong. In 
fact in Koha 18.11 the script is residing in directory 
"/usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs".

Hope this helps.

Best wishes: Michael
