Cron jobs and daemons

Koha is supported by a number of background tasks. These tasks can either be periodically executed tasks (cron jobs) or continuously running tasks called daemons.

A cron job is a Linux command for scheduling a command or script on your server to complete repetitive tasks automatically. Scripts executed as a cron job are typically used to modify files or databases; however, they can perform other tasks that do not modify data on the server, like sending out email notifications.

A daemon is a Linux command that is typically started when the system is booted and runs in the background doing some function. The database used by Koha (either MySQL or MariaDB) is a daemon as is the web server (typically Apache).

Koha has many cron jobs in place that you can enable (search engine indexing, overdue notice generation, data cleanup and more), and a few daemons. This chapter will explain those for you.

Crontab 範例

Koha crontab 在 misc/cronjobs/crontab.example

The example includes sample boilerplate cron job entries for the most commonly-used cron jobs.

Cron jobs

The locations below assume a development install which puts the crons in misc/, if you have a standard install you may want to look in bin/ for these files if you cannot find them in misc/

備份

Daily backup

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/backup.sh

Does: creates a daily backup of the Koha database.

建議頻率：逐日

搜尋

站台地圖

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/sitemap.pl

Does: processes all biblio records from a Koha instance and generates sitemap files complying with the protocol as described on http://sitemaps.org. The goal of this script is to be able to provide to search engines direct access to biblio records. It avoids leaving search engines browsing Koha’s OPAC which would generate a lot of site traffic and server workload.

說明 產生檔案 sitemapindex.xml。藉此參照至多個網站地圖檔案。每個檔案至多可以容納 50,000 URL 並命多為 sitemapXXXX.xml。

檔案必須儲存在 Koha OPAC 的根錄內。就是與 robots.txt 同個目錄包括以下的內容：

Sitemap: sitemapindex.xml User-agent: * Disallow: /cgi-bin/

Rebuild index

腳本路徑：misc/migration_tools/rebuild_zebra.pl

Does: updates Zebra indexes with recently changed data.

必需用到的：Zebra

頻率建議：每隔 x 分鐘，(5-15 分鐘之間) 視執行所需

Note On newer Koha installations, this cron job has been replaced by the koha-indexer daemon which indexes new and modified Koha data every 30 seconds.

流通

Holds queue

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/holds/build_holds_queue.pl

Does: updates holds queue report

Required by: Holds queue report

建議頻率：每 1-4 小時

說明：

• 應定期執行腳本若您的圖書館系統允許讀者預約在架的館藏。此腳本決定負責滿足此預約的圖書館。

  It’s behavior is controlled by the system preferences StaticHoldsQueueWeight and RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight.

  不讓所有圖書館參與館藏滿足預約計畫，應列出*要*參加該計畫的圖書館，包括圖書館的條碼，並以逗點區隔(如：」MPL,CPL,SPL,BML」 等)。

  預設，預約順位將先列入提取圖書館。若無法滿足，則 build_holds_queue.pl 將取用 StaticHoldsQueueWeight 設定的圖書館。若停用 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight (預設值為停用)，則依 StaticHoldsQueueWeight 偏好設定的圖書館順序，逐一取用。

  例如，系統內有三個規模不一的圖書館(大型、中型與小型)，希望由大型圖書館承擔較多的預約責任，StaticHoldsQueueWeight偏好應設為」LRG,MED,SML」。

  若期望各圖書館平均分擔預約的任務，應啟用RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight偏好，將隨機將預約分配給各圖書館。

  讓 StaticHoldsQueueWeight 空白是禁忌，將造成 build_holds_queue 腳本忽略 RandomizeHoldsQueueWeight，使該腳本要求不是隨機卻採用字順方式填入預約。

Expired holds

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/holds/cancel_expired_holds.pl

Does: cancels holds where the user has set an expiration date. If the library is using the ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelay and ExpireReservesMaxPickUpDelayCharge preferences then this script will also cancel holds that have been sitting on the hold shelf for too long and will (if the library does) charge the patron for not picking up the hold.

It is possible to add a cancellation reason with the –reason parameter. Use the cancellation code from the HOLD_CANCELLATION authorized value category

建議頻率：逐日

Unsuspend holds

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/holds/auto_unsuspend_holds.pl

Does: checks to find holds that should no longer be suspended and removes the suspension if the AutoResumeSuspendedHolds preference is set to 『allow』. This puts the patron back in to the queue where they were when the hold was suspended.

建議頻率：逐日

罰款

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/fines.pl

Does: calculates and charges (or increments) overdue fines per item to patron accounts. The fine calculation is done using the grace period, fine interval, fine amount and other parameters from the circulation and fines rules.

必備：finesMode 系統偏好

建議頻率：每晚

Note If the Koha system preference 『finesMode』 is set to 『production』, the fines are charged to the patron accounts. If set to 『test』, the fines are calculated but not applied.

Note Fines will not be applied on a holiday.

PARAMETERS - -h|–help

• get help message

• -l|–log

  • log the output to a file (optional if the -o parameter is given)

• -o|–out

  • output directory for logs (defaults to env or /tmp if the directory does not exist)

• -v|–verbose

  • verbose mode

• -m|–maxdays

  • how many days back of overdues to process

  • this can improve performance by simply the number of records that need to be processed. It can be safe to limit the overdues processed to those under X days overdues given that circulation policy often caps fines at a maximum after a number of days.

Static fines

腳本路徑：misc/cronjobs/staticfines.pl

Does: charges a single static fine for any/all overdues a patron currently has outstanding. The charge amount is either defined on the command line per borrower category or will use the circulation rules associated with the oldest overdue item the patron has currently checked out (for the first fine period only) Once charged, the fine is static: No new fines will be added until the existing fine is paid off in full.

建議頻率：每晚

Note If the Koha system preference 『finesMode』 is set to 『production』, the fines are charged to the patron accounts. If set to 『test』, the fines are calculated but not applied.

說明 假日不計入罰款。

說明

Dates should be in ISO format, e.g., 2013-07-19, and can be generated with date -d 『-3 month』 「+%Y-%m-%d」.

重要

The options to select the patron records to delete are cumulative. For example, supplying both –expired_before and –library specifies that patron records must meet both conditions to be selected for deletion.

PARAMETERS

• –not_borrowed_since Delete patrons who have not borrowed since this date.

• –expired_before Delete patrons with an account expired before this date.

• –last_seen Delete patrons who have not been connected since this date. The system preference TrackLastPatronActivity must be enabled to use this option.

This script replaces the j2a.pl script.

建議頻率：每晚

DESCRIPTION

This script is designed to update patrons from one category to another using the criteria specified using command line arguments.

PARAMETERS

• –too_old Update, if patron is over the upper age limit of their current patron category.

• –too_young Update, if patron is below the minimum age limit of their patron category.

• –fo=X|–fineover=X Update, if the total fine amount on the patron account is over X.

「update_patrons_category.pl」 -f=<categorycode> -t=<categorycode> -v」 (Processes all branches, shows all messages, and reports the patrons who would be affected. Takes no action on the database)

Update patrons』 messaging preferences

Script path: misc/maintenance/borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl

Does: updates patrons』 messaging preferences to the default values set in the patron categories.

Messaging preferences defaults are automatically set when adding a new patron or when importing patrons with the patron import tool. However, if you import patrons directly in the database, these messaging preferences will not be set.

There is no suggested frequency. This is a tool to be used when needed, although if you regularly import patrons directly in the database (through a third-party, for example), you can add it to your crontab.

DESCRIPTION

If the EnhancedMessagingPreferences system preference is enabled after borrowers have been created in the DB, those borrowers won’t have messaging transport preferences default values as defined for their borrower category. So you would have to modify each borrower one by one if you would like to send them 『Hold Filled』 notice for example.

This script creates/overwrites messaging preferences for all borrowers and sets them to default values defined for the category they belong to (unless you use the options -not-expired or -no-overwrite to update a subset).

PARAMETERS

• –doit

  Update the patrons. The script will not update patrons』 messaging preferences without this option. It will only list the patrons who would have been updated.

• –not-expired

  Only update patrons who are still active (whose files are not yet expired).

• –no-overwrite

  Only update patrons without any messaging preferences. This option will skip patrons who have already set their preferences.

• –category

  Only update patrons from the specified category.

  警告

  This option cannot be repeated.

  For example:

  borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --category PT --category B
  

  will only update patrons from category B (the last category specified).

• –since

  Only update patrons enrolled since the specified date.

  備註

  This option can use specific or relative dates.

  For example:

  borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --since "2022-07-12"
  

  will only update patrons enrolled since July 12, 2022.

  And:

  borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --since `date -d "1 day ago" '+%Y-%m-%d'
  

  will only update patrons enrolled since yesterday.

USAGE EXAMPLES

borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit

Updates all patrons to give them the default messaging preferences values from their respective category.

borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --not-expired

Updates all patrons whose memberships are not expired to give them the default messaging preferences values from their respective category.

borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --category PT

Updates all patrons in the PT category to give them the default messaging preferences for that category.

borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --no-overwrite --since "2022-03-01"

Updates patrons who do not have any messaging preferences set and who are enrolled since March 1st, 2022.

Daemons

Daemons are continuously running tasks that help support Koha operation. Your database and web-server are run as daemons. Newer versions of Koha start two different daemons for most koha instances:

• zebra - this is the index server

• koha-indexer - this daemon updates the index server with new and modified data (biblios and authorities)

These daemons are started by the script /etc/init.d/koha-common.

Zebra indexer daemon

Script path: /usr/sbin/koha-indexer (invoked from /etc/init.d/koha-common)

The koha-indexer script invokes rebuild_zebra.pl in daemon mode. In this mode, the script will run continuously and check the database for new or modified data every 30 seconds. New or modified records are then sent to Zebra for indexing, which only takes a second or so. The advantage of this approach is a search system which is much more responsive to changes, compared to the cron job approach.
