Subject: [rt-users] Adjusting priorities

Dear RT-users,

This little script will adjust the priority of all open and non overdue tickets towards the final priority. The change is linear so each tickets priority moves from the initial priority towards the final priority at a constant speed. A tickets priority will only be changed upwards, so a ticket that has had its priority raised won't have it lowered automatically. The opposite is not true, so a ticket that has been given a lower priority will have it raised again.

This script will have no effect on tickets that are not open or stalled, tickets without a due date, and tickets where the final priority is equal to the initial priority.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#!/bin/sh
mysql rt <<EOF
update each_req set priority=greatest(priority,
round((final_priority-initial_priority)/(date_due-date_created)
*(unix_timestamp()-date_created) +initial_priority))
where date_due > unix_timestamp()
and status in ('open','stalled');
EOF
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
