I don't know if it can be considered a cronjob, it's mostly a command-line utility used once, afaik, but I've had to use it as a cronjob for a client who regularly imports borrowers. It is not in the manual at all, and I had trouble finding information on all the options. =head1 SYNOPSIS borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --help borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --not-expired borrowers-force-messaging-defaults.pl --doit --category PT =head1 DESCRIPTION If the EnhancedMessagingPreferences syspref 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). =over 8 =item B<--help> Prints this help =item B<--doit> Actually update the borrowers. =item B<--not-expired> Will only update active borrowers (borrowers who didn't pass their expiration date). =item B<--no-overwrite> Will only update patrons without messaging preferences and skip patrons that already set their preferences. =item B<--category> Will only update patrons in the category specified. See also Bug 31155 for --since option
