This is a plugin for Koha that simplifies the management of a koha instances local crontab.
We put the power in the hands of the user by exposing the local crontab to them as a tool plugin, allowing them to edit existing lines, schedules and environment as well as adding new jobs all from within the staff UI.
To set up the Koha plugin system you must first make some changes to your install.
- Change
<enable_plugins>0<enable_plugins>to<enable_plugins>1</enable_plugins>in your koha-conf.xml file - Confirm that the path to
<pluginsdir>exists, is correct, and is writable by the web server - Add the pluginsdir to your apache PERL5LIB paths and koha-plack startup scripts PERL5LIB
- Restart your webserver
Once set up is complete you will need to alter your UseKohaPlugins system preference. On the Tools page you will see the Tools Plugins and on the Reports page you will see the Reports Plugins.
This plugin depends on the Config::Crontab perl module from CPAN. You will need to ask your system administrator to ensure it is available prior to downloading and installing the plugin package.
The package can be installed using apt:
sudo apt install libconfig-crontab-perl
