Where would I find the documentation for ‘rt-crontool’. I’ve searched just
about everywhere and even saw it mentioned in my search but little that I
have come up with has been of any value.
More specifically - I would like to increment/escalate my ticket priority.

I have something like this in my crontab:
(/usr/local/www/data/rt3/bin//rt-crontool --action RT::Action::EscalatePriority --search RT::Search::ActiveTicketsInQueue --search-arg Legal)
I’m pretty sure that doing a search in the archives will find other ideas, that’s where I found this.
It seems that I’m not the only one who has hunted high and low
for doc on rt-crontool. My conclusions from a fairly extensive
search in the archives is that there is very little and it’s
hard to find.
So for the benefit of others, here is a summary of what I found:
rt-crontool allows you to run cron jobs to do such things as
escalating priority of tickets. It allows you to search for
a set of tickets and to take specific action based on a specified
condition.
rt-crontool lives in rt_install_dir/bin.
For usage run: rt-crontool --help
(this may take a while - wait 10 secs for output)
Location of search/condition/action modules:
rt_install_dir/lib/RT/Search, Condition, Action.
Read the modules (or perl docs) to see what each module does.
I found that I needed a little wrapper script to specify
for which queues I wished to escalate priority and then to run
rt-crontool separately for each queue.
Trust this will ease the pain for other novices.

Thanks to all that responded - I now have my tickets’ priority incrementing
throughout the day by having rt-crontool run every hour through cron.
I would just like to add that the suggestions offered by Mike Husband would
have saved me a ton of time and would be a big help to anybody in a similar
situation.

It appears I need to make some adjustments - instead of my ticket’s priority
incrementing from 1 to 10 throughout the day it jumps straight to ‘10’ as
soon as the cron job runs.
If and when I discover the secret I will share it with everybody on the

I guess what it is that makes me want to think that the priority would
‘increment’ is that on the www.xxx.yyy/Admin/Queues/Modify.html page it
would seem to suggest that the priority would increment according to the
“Over time, priority moves toward:” field. I suppose because of what that
says I wasn’t expecting such a sudden jump from “Priority starts at: 1” to
“Over time, priority moves toward: 10”.

It does that if the due date is in the future. It says (somewhere,
because I read it) that if the due date has passed when crontool is run,
the priority will be maxed out…
