Hi Craig, The cron job is run from files are in /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common for a package install.
Note that "build_holds_queue.pl" doesn't affect the holds to pull. It only affects the hold queue. To change the frequency, you could comment out the job in /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common, adding an octothorpe at the beginning of the job like # koha-foreach --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl and then create one in the /etc/cron.d/koha-common like */15 * * * * koha-foreach --enabled /usr/share/koha/bin/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl very much like the process_message_queue.pl entry. This will run the job every 15 minutes, at 00, 15, 30, and 45. To change the interval, swap out the the 15 in */15 for your desired interval. On a recent debian(8)/ubuntu(16), you can check the cron log super easily with sudo systemctl status cron I hope this helps!
