In 1.2, 1.4 and (for now) 1.6, you'll want to run it often -- say, every 15 minutes. Trunk has code to avoid the need to /ever/ run the fine generator (but you'll still want to, at least daily, so patrons know what they owe while an item is overdue). -- Mike Rylander | VP, Research and Design | Equinox Software, Inc. / The Evergreen Experts | phone: 1-877-OPEN-ILS (673-6457) | email: [email protected] | web: http://www.esilibrary.com
