# Koha Example Crontab File # Author: Joe Atzberger <atz@liblime.com> # # This is an example of a crontab file for Debian. It may not work # in other versions of crontab, like on Solaris 8 or BSD, for example. # # While similar in structure, # this is NOT an example for cron (as root). Cron takes an extra # argument per line to designate the user to run as. You could # reasonably extrapolate the needed info from here though. # # WARNING: These jobs will do things like charge fines, send # potentially VERY MANY emails to patrons and even debar offending # users. DO NOT RUN OR SCHEDULE these jobs without being sure you # really intend to. Make sure the relevant message templates are # configured to your liking before scheduling messages to be sent. # # ENVIRONMENT: # First, establish Koha's two important ENV variables. PERL5LIB=/home/liblime/kohaclone KOHA_CONF=/home/liblime/kohaclone/etc/koha-conf.xml # Some additional variables to save you typing KOHA_CRON_PATH = /home/liblime/kohaclone/misc/cronjobs # # MULTIPLE KOHA SUPPORT: # You can still run jobs for this user's additional koha installs, # by manipulating those variables in the command. # # For example, on the same codebase: # */10 * * * * KOHA_CONF=/home/liblime/koha-test/etc/koha-conf.xml /home/liblime/kohaclone/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z >/dev/null # # For example, on a separate codebase: # */10 * * * * KOHA_CONF=/home/liblime/koha-test/etc/koha-conf.xml PERL5LIB=/home/liblime/koha-test /home/liblime/koha-test/misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl -b -a -z >/dev/null # # ADDITIONAL INFO: # See the perldoc of individual scripts to determine what other options # are available.
