=head1 TITLE

rt-remind - reminder RT3 users of their obligations

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This script will remind people about tickets they have not responded to
or dealt with in a 'reasonable' length of time. In its normal mode it will
tell ticket owners about tickets which have exceeded a given priority.
It also has the ability to tell ticket owners about all their open or new 
tickets, with or without stalled tickets.

This is best used with another script to escalate priorities automatically.

You will need to manually configure this script when you install it.

=head1 USAGE

	rt-remind [-help | -q[ueue] QueueName1 ... [-q[ueue] QueueNameN] 
	[-p[riority] [new=D [open=DD] ] [ -m[ost] |-a[ll] ] ]

If run with no flags, reports on 'important' tickets. Command-line arguments and Options are:

=item -q --queue

Name of the RT queue, at least once, or many times. May also be a comma-seperated list.

=item -p --priority

Specify at what priority new or open tickets get included in the report:

	--priority new=2 open=2

=item -m --most

Optionally show all open or new tickets

=item -a --all 

Optionally show all open, new, or stalled tickets

=item -help

Show this documentation.

The intended use is to run with no flags daily, with the C<-most> flag weekly
and with the C<-all> flag monthly. Or similar.

=head1 EXAMPLE

	rt-remind -q CoffeeMachine,SandwichOrders -p new=8 open=8 -a
	rt-remind --queue CoffeeMachine

### Configuration

# Location of RT3's libs
use lib ("/opt/rt3/lib", "/opt/rt3/etc");

# Mappings of users to addresses
# This overrides addresses in the RT database
# The most useful case is setting an address for Nobody
my %map = (
    'Nobody' => 'lee.goddard at easaeuint',
    'root'   => 'lee.goddard at easaeuint',
);

# Address emails should originate from
my $FROM = 'lee.goddard at easaeuint'; die 'Read the source to configure';

# The length at which lines will be truncated. 80, or thereabouts looks
# best for most people. Setting to 0 will stop lines being truncated.
my $linelen = 80;

# Path to sendmail and flags
my $sendmail = "/usr/sbin/sendmail -t ";

# Each state can have a priority associated with it.
# When a ticket in that state passes the given priority it is added to
# the list to be sent out.
my %pri = (
    'new'	=> 2,
    'open'	=> 7,
);
