• How to set up Kronolith reminders

Setting up reminders is very simple. You simply have to run the {{reminders.php}} script in your {{/horde/kronolith/scripts/}} directory on the shell. To do it manually, simply try this (replace {{/var/www/horde}} with the path to your Horde installation):

Note: Your {{php}} executable must be the CLI version, it will NOT work with the CGI version. Do {{php -v}} to verify that you have the CLI version.

If this works (you will get an email), you have to create a cronjob to call the reminders script regularly. In this example, it is called every five minutes. So edit your crontab:

and enter the following (replace {{/var/www/horde}} with the path to your Horde installation and {{/usr/bin/php}} with the path to your PHP CLI binary):

Note that the user that runs the cron job needs to have write access to the Horde VFS as reminder state information is stored there. If you are using a filesystem based VFS driver, running as the web server user is a good alternative to running as root.

If you are editing a global system crontab instead of using the {{crontab -e}} command to edit a specific user's crontab, you may need to specify the user the job will run as or other information specific to your system and that global file.

NOTE: All users should have the Options | Global Options | Default Identity | from_addr field filled with his own mail in order to receive a reminder.
