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.
