[rt-users] Documentation for rt-crontool

[Kelly F. Hickel]

It does that if the due date is in the future.  It says (somewhere,
because I read it) that if the due date has passed when crontool is run,
the priority will be maxed out.....

I guess what it is that makes me want to think that the priority would
'increment' is that on the www.xxx.yyy/Admin/Queues/Modify.html page it
would seem to suggest that the priority would increment according to the
"Over time, priority moves toward:" field.  I suppose because of what
that
says I wasn't expecting such a sudden jump from "Priority starts at: 1"
to
"Over time, priority moves toward: 10".

FYI, this is the "correct" (well, defined) result if the ticket's due
date is in the past.....

It appears I need to make some adjustments - instead of my ticket's
priority
incrementing from 1 to 10 throughout the day it jumps straight to '10'
as
soon as the cron job runs.

If and when I discover the secret I will share it with everybody on the
list.

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
