OPAC patron account expiration alerts should not be displayed when membership_expiry.pl cronjob is configured to renew active patrons. When patron account is about to expire, OPAC displays patron the following message: "Your library card will expire on <expirationdate>. Please contact the library for more information." System preference TrackLastPatronActivityTriggers can be set to count a login as activity. When patron logs in, the next time membership_expiry.pl cronjob is executed with the renew option, the patron account will be renewed. In this case, the patron should not be presented with an expiration notice nor should they be instructed to contact the library. Instead, it should say something like this: "Your library card was about to expire on <expirationdate>, but we will now renew your library due to your recent activity of logging in."
The question is how can we know, in the TT templates, if -renew is used in the membership_expiry.pl cronjob?

One option would be to renew the expiring patron account simply as they login. But this would require another system preference.
