[Koha] Batch modification tool is not running.

[Chris Brown]

Hi Katrin,

Thank you for your prompt reply.  Shortly after posting my query I did try
restarting koha-common but that didn't seem to help. However, we then
rebooted the server and the queued jobs ran OK. We did notice on our server
memory load graphs that the memory usage went up significantly as we were
originally trying to queue the jobs and it eventually reached 100%, so we
wonder if that caused some daemon to die. Anyway, it's working now :-)

Thanks again,

Chris Brown
