Simple addition of the koha user to the sample cron file. Might help non-tech
users to get things like incremental indexing to work.

Because updating the total issues count associated with a bibliographic
record on issue could cause a significant load on the server, this
commit adds the syspref UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc (which defaults to OFF
to match existing behavior). The syspref has the following description:
Do/Do not update a bibliographic record's total issues count whenever
an item is issued (WARNING! This increases server load significantly;
if performance is a concern, use the update_totalissues.pl cron job
to update the total issues count).
Bug 6557: automatically increment totalissues
Adds the ability to automatically increment biblioitems.totalissues
whenever an item is issued.
To test:
1) Choose a record with at least one item that can circulate
2) Check the value of 942$0 (you may need to look at the plain MARC view
on the OPAC). Most likely there won't be any 942$0 at all
3) Enable UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc
4) Check out the item you selected
5) Check the value of 942$0 (you may need to look at the plain MARC view
on the OPAC). That value should now be one greater than before
6) Discharge the item
7) Disable UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc
8) Check out the item you selected again
9) Check the value of 942$0 (you may need to look at the plain MARC view
on the OPAC). That value should not have changed
Bug 6557: add script to update totalissues from stats
NAME
update_totalissues.pl
SYNOPSIS
update_totalissues.pl --use-stats
update_totalissues.pl --use-items
update_totalissues.pl --commit=1000
update_totalissues.pl --since='2012-01-01'
update_totalissues.pl --interval=30d
DESCRIPTION
This batch job populates bibliographic records' total issues count
based on historical issue statistics.
--help Prints this help
-v|--verbose
Provide verbose log information (list every bib modified).
--use-stats
Use the data in the statistics table for populating total
issues.
--use-items
Use items.issues data for populating total issues. Note that
issues data from the items table does not respect the --since
or --interval options, by definition. Also note that if both
--use-stats and --use-items are specified, the count of biblios
processed will be misleading.
-s|--since=DATE
Only process issues recorded in the statistics table since
DATE.
-i|--interval=S
Only process issues recorded in the statistics table in the
last N units of time. The interval should consist of a number
with a one-letter unit suffix. The valid suffixes are h
(hours), d (days), w (weeks), m (months), and y (years). The
default unit is days.
--incremental
Add the number of issues found in the statistics table to the
existing total issues count. Intended so that this script can
be used as a cron job to update popularity information during
low-usage periods. If neither --since or --interval are
specified, incremental mode will default to processing the
last twenty-four hours.
--commit=N
Commit the results to the database after every N records are
processed.
--test Only test the popularity population script.
WARNING
If the time on your database server does not match the time on your Koha
server you will need to take that into account, and probably use the
--since argument instead of the --interval argument for incremental
updating.
=== TESTING PLAN ===
NOTE: in order to test this script, you will need to have some sort of
circulation data already existing in your Koha installation.
1) Disable UpdateTotalIssuesOnCirc
2) Run: misc/cronjobs/update_totalissues.pl --use-items -t -v
3) If you have total checkout data in your item records (i.e. anything
in 952$l), you should see messages like "Processing bib 43 (1 issues)"
4) Choose one of the lines that shows more than 0 issues, and view the
record with that biblionumber in the staff client, choosing the "Items"
tab (moredetail.pl). Add up the "Total checkouts" listed for each item,
and confirm it matches what the script reported
5) Run: misc/cronjobs/update_totalissues.pl --use-stats -t -v
6) If you have any circulation statistics in your database (i.e. any
'issue' entries in your statistics table), you should see messages
like "Processing bib 43 (1 issues)";
7) Choose one of the lines and view the record with that biblionumber in
the staff client, choosing the "Items" tab (moredetail.pl). If you
count the number of checkouts listed in each item's checkout history,
the total should match what the script reported.
8) Check out an item
9) Run: misc/cronjobs/update_totalissues.pl --use-stats
--incremental --interval=1h -t -v
10) You should see one line reporting a single circ for the bib record
associated with the item you just checked out (there may be more if
you checked out any books in the hour prior to running these tests
11) If the results in steps 4, 7, and 10 match the predictions, the
script worked

Tested this with my test data - numbers are correct and updated appropriately.
More importantly - if I do a popularity search, the most popular items *come up first*. Amazing.
To test:
Verify that there is a listed job for purge_suggestions.pl in the crontab.example
Bug 6478 - adding --days support and help verbiage to the cronjob.

* export C4::Reserves::CancelExpiredReserves
* rename misc/cronjobs/cancel_expired_reserves.pl
to misc/cronjobs/holds/cancel_expired_holds.pl
* added cancel_expired_holds.pl to example crontab
* fix staff crash if AllowHoldDateInFuture is on
* expirationdate is now nullable instead of relying
on 0000-00-00

This little script establishes a framework for database cleanup on some regular
schedule. Initial implementation provides for brute truncation of the sessions
table, and selective-by-age cleanup of the zebraqueue.

This reverts commit def09f5a21.
As I emailed to the patches list Oct 06, 2008:
I suggest we need to revert Josh' commit def09f5a21.
The effect on the crontab example is to invalidate the lines being executed. The lines were apparently copied in from a cron source, not crontab, despite the header describing it NOT being an example for cron. It also runs longoverdue twice, instead of fines.pl.
