[Koha] advance_notice.pl script and --digest-per-branch parameter

[Katrin Fischer]

Hi Stephen,

it looks like you ran into this bug:

*Bug 33900*
<https://bugs.koha-community.org/bugzilla3/show_bug.cgi?id=33900> -
advance_notices.pl cronjob hangs

Hopefully it will be fixed with the next maintenance release.

> Hi All - is anyone out there using the --digest-per-branch parameter with the advance_notice.pl. It sounds like it will do what we want to achieve but cannot get to work. We've been testing on our dev server (which has recently been updated to 22.11) and when we use this parameter the job never completes.  When I grep for advance_notices.pl using ps -ef I can see the jobs still running. If I run it from the cmd line manually the job just hangs/never finished either. If we remove the digest parameter then the script works and completes within a few seconds.
