Hello. As they currently stand, the cron jobs at misc/cronjobs/smsoverdues.pl and misc/cronjobs/rss/rss.pl will not work on an out-of-the-box Koha installation, as they require an obsolete templating system. I am wondering if anyone still uses these cron jobs, or whether they are obsolete legacy scripts that should just be removed at this point. So, are you using either of these scripts? Do you know anyone else who does?

No libraries with BibLibre use these scripts, I agree they're probably obsolete.

I don't know anyone using SMS, but the SMS script links to a sys pref that lets you turn it on - I don't know if you want to remove that. Also the RSS one allows for custom RSS feeds doesn't it? I have it documented in the manual, it's optional, but I don't see a reason to remove it if it works for some people.

If it works for some people, then we will need to add HTML::Template::Pro back as a dependency of Koha, at least. Which is fine, but is something that we should probably know before we ship a major version of Koha with non-functioning features. However, I have no idea whether the scripts actually work, or whether they've been replaced by modern functionality, or what.

We have a number of customers using the rss feeds script, though none using the sms script. It's probably something that should be updated to use template toolkit as well to prevent the extra dependency. (It's been on my tto do list for a while now, but i've not yet had a chance to do it.)
