Hi David,

I did some initial work on this but it was abandoned for now because of the security aspect. Exposing root shell via CGI might not be a good idea.

If you have a good solution that also perhaps solves some of the things that we wanted to solve with this I would be happy to test/sign-off your patch.

Thanks for the update. Basically, I've just written a task scheduler, which uses pluggable modules to run tasks. At the moment, I'm using it for downloading OAI-PMH records and importing OAI-PMH records into Koha. Adding support for things like "scheduled reports" would be as easy as creating a task plugin and creating a data entry template on the Koha staff client. At the moment, all the work is on bug #10662, but I've thought about splitting my patches into separate bug reports... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
