In some command-line scripts preferences are used too (e.g. look at finesMode in fines.pl). So, an exception can always be made. Still, the principle is that cronjobs get their parameters on the command line. A lot of people may be able to access the preferences and change them by incident, the crontab file needs root privileges. So further away, but safe. If someone occassionally changes this pref, he may not even realize that a cron job will later use the value. The fact that you add them as fallback, makes it somewhat better. If you put them in the crontab, you should not fear the pref values anymore ;) Will look if the description of the prefs still needs some tweaking.. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
