Hello!

I'm not a system administrator, so I'm not sure what I do will work for you. Maybe someone else on the list can correct me if this is not the right way to do it.

What I do to check my crons is go on my server and type crontab -l  (dash small "L" for "list"). This gives me the list of all the crons that are running on my server.

If the fines.pl script is not there, you will have to add it. So type crontab -e (dash small "E" for "edit").

On the next available line, add in your cron. This is what I use to remember the order : https://devhints.io/cron

Normally, you want your fines.pl script to run once daily. We run ours during the night. So something like

0 1 * * * misc/cronjobs/fines.pl

will make the script run everyday at 1 am

I hope this helps

Hi Carolyne,

I'm not sure if the fines.pl cron job is running. If you could guide me on how to check I'd be very grateful.

The system is new and has been in use for about 6 months and not an upgrade but a clean install.

The circulation system pref are set as
1. Checkin policy- calculate fines on return= Do
2. Fines policy- fines mode= calculate and charge.

Thanking you for your assistance

Warm regards

Subject: Re: [Koha] Koha Not calculating and charging overdue fines

Hello,

I need more information about your problem.

Is the fines.pl cron job running?

Is this a new Koha installation or did it stop calculating fines after
an upgrade? Which version are your running?

Which system preferences did you set and what was their value?

Thanks!

Caroline
