So.....if a guy *was* going to add a zebra load line of "koha-start-zebra <instance>" to a cron job..... and try to get said job to run daily @ 7:55AM
Any suggestions of where/how/what to accomplish this ?? Is there an existing cron.daily (in the etc dir ?) that I should use.....or does Koha have it's own crontab/cron settings ?
