fines.pl • No help • No command-line options either • sysprefs: finesMode, CircControl • staff: fines rules, Calendar! • TIP: run fines before notices

advance_notices.pl • Like overdue notices, but before due • “EnhancedMessagingPreferences” syspref • Opt-In for individual patrons via OPAC

Building a good cronjob • Documentation for use case! • Good perl: use strict; use warnings; • use Getopt::Long; # handle --options • use Pod::Usage; # makes --help like perldoc • internalize, like process_message_queue.pl • test cases, dry run, operational feedback
