22 membership_expiry.pl - cron script to put membership expiry reminders into the message queue
26 ./membership_expiry.pl -c
30 0 1 * * * membership_expiry.pl -c
34 This script sends membership expiry reminder notices to patrons.
35 It queues them in the message queue, which is processed by
36 the process_message_queue.pl cronjob.
44 Print a brief help message and exits.
48 Prints the manual page and exits.
52 Verbose. Without this flag set, only fatal errors are reported.
56 Do not send any email. Membership expire notices that would have been sent to
57 the patrons are printed to standard out.
61 Confirm flag: Add this option. The script will only print a usage
66 Optional branchcode to restrict the cronjob to that branch.
70 Optional parameter to extend the selection with a number of days BEFORE
71 the date set by the preference.
75 Optional parameter to extend the selection with a number of days AFTER
76 the date set by the preference.
80 Optional parameter to use another notice than the default one.
86 The content of the messages is configured in Tools -> Notices and slips. Use the MEMBERSHIP_EXPIRY notice.
88 Typically, messages are prepared for each patron when the memberships are going to expire.
90 These emails are staged in the outgoing message queue, as are messages
91 produced by other features of Koha. This message queue must be
92 processed regularly by the
93 F<misc/cronjobs/process_message_queue.pl> program.
95 In the event that the C<-n> flag is passed to this program, no emails
96 are sent. Instead, messages are sent on standard output from this
99 Notices can contain variables enclosed in double angle brackets like
100 E<lt>E<lt>thisE<gt>E<gt>. Those variables will be replaced with values
101 specific to the soon expiring members.
102 Available variables are:
106 =item E<lt>E<lt>borrowers.*E<gt>E<gt>
108 any field from the borrowers table
110 =item E<lt>E<lt>branches.*E<gt>E<gt>
112 any field from the branches table
