[rt-users] Documentation for rt-crontool

[Dan Armeneau]

Thanks to all that responded - I now have my tickets' priority incrementing
throughout the day by having rt-crontool run every hour through cron.

I would just like to add that the suggestions offered by Mike Husband would
have saved me a ton of time and would be a big help to anybody in a similar
situation.

It seems that I'm not the only one who has hunted high and low
for doc on rt-crontool.  My conclusions from a fairly extensive
search in the archives is that there is very little and it's
hard to find.

So for the benefit of others, here is a summary of what I found:

rt-crontool allows you to run cron jobs to do such things as
escalating priority of tickets.  It allows you to search for
a set of tickets and to take specific action based on a specified
condition.

rt-crontool lives in rt_install_dir/bin.

For usage run:   rt-crontool --help
(this may take a while - wait 10 secs for output)

Location of search/condition/action modules:
rt_install_dir/lib/RT/Search, Condition, Action.
Read the modules (or perl docs) to see what each module does.

I found that I needed a little wrapper script to specify
for which queues I wished to escalate priority and then to run
rt-crontool separately for each queue.

Trust this will ease the pain for other novices.

Mike
