Looking at this some more, could it be that your server isn't running continuously? The reason I ask is that the file /etc/crontab on Debian 8 looks like this: 17 * * * * root cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly 25 6 * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.daily ) 47 6 * * 7 root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.weekly ) 52 6 1 * * root test -x /usr/sbin/anacron || ( cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.monthly ) I believe this means that if your machine isn't running at these times, and anacron isn't available, the cron jobs won't run. In particular, it appears that the daily, weekly, and monthly jobs are run between 6:25 and 6:52 AM. Anacron is useful for personal machines that don't run continuously, but it doesn't play well with Koha, in my experience. _______________________________________________ Koha mailing list http://koha-community.org Koha@lists.katipo.co.nz https://lists.katipo.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/koha
