[Koha] Items marked long overdue one day after due date

[Brendan Gallagher]

Hi Tim --

You are at the right place for what you want...

That script needs to be placed in your crontab and you need to replace  
the first part of it with your path to koha_cronjobs.

So that script will have items age to longoverdue after 20 days and  
then become lost after 100 days and charge the patron replacement fees.
