[Koha] Calculating fines?

[Kyle Hall]

>  2) Why is a cronjob even necessary?  i.e. why can't Koha look at today's date and the books' due dates, then calculate on the fly what the overdue fines are whenever the patron or librarian pulls up
>  a record within the OPAC?

You may want to check out the fines script I wrote for our library. It
calculates fines for items as they are checked in.
