Hello everybody
I really don’t know if this is the right place to ask such a question,
but as I don’t have any other idea to where I could get help I’ll give
it a try.
I’m a trainee and my boss gave me the task to find a better way to
handle stalled tickets.
As I don’t have any manual for RT (I couldn’t find anything on the
bestpractical homepage), I started googeling… I didn’t find much… but
at least I found the RT-Maillinglist 
You have no idea how glad I am, that I have found this! (My Boss is
quite strict and he always grants very little time to solve a task)
What we exactly need is a way to handle stalled or very old unresolved
Tickets. Is it somehow possible to send a reminder E-Mail to the Ticket
owner after a while if a ticket has been stalled or hasn’t been altert
for a certain time? Probably it would also be a good thing if a stalled
ticket would be automaticaly reopend or get a higher priority or something.
What’s important: we’re only using RT 2 (not 3) and no-one ever uses
Starting or Due Dates… so I have to find a way using the
creation-date or the date of the status-change (in case of stalled
tickets) as a time reference.
I personally think the only way to solve our problem would be a script
or a plug-in or something like that. Are there any websites that provide
plug-ins for RT2? Or is there a way I could write a plug-in myself?
Would this be complicated, and what would I need to do it. (At the
moment I just have normal user rights for our RT… but my boss told me,
he would give me full system-access when I can present a solution)
I’d really apprichiate your help (ideas or hints or anything at all)
All the best and thanks in advance!
Sarah
