A problem with rt-crontool

Helptext for rt-crontool is wrong:

Under example:
"bin/rt-cron-tool " <- One too many -'s there
and
"Escalate ticketsrt-crontool " <- add “\nbin/” maybe?

And when I try to actually use the escalate function
I just keep getting the help-screen no matter what I do.
No errors, just help. It also doesn’t escalate.

I have tried (among a lot of others) this:
/usr/rt3/bin/rt-crontool --search RT::Search::ActiveTicketsInQueue
–search-arg no-Support --action RT::Action::EscalatePriority --verbose

Is this not the right syntax?

It does not fix the problem I have of course.

Thanks very much for the patch.On Fri, Jul 02, 2004 at 03:09:49PM +0200, Hans K wrote:

Tail your database log while this runs. What’s it do to the database
when it runs?

Uhm, I’m at a standstill with this… Will there be a fix
for 3.2.1 so that we can escalate tickets again?

The problem is with the @ARGV check. Getopt::Long removes the options
that it finds from @ARGV. Thus if you specify only recognized options
@ARGV will be empty. Here is a patch:

We must have a search object

Good catch. I introduced this by mistake a couple of weeks ago. I’ve
applied it to 3.0.HEAD, so it will show up in 3.2.1 as well
