Els scripts i les tasques periòdiques programades (cron, crontab) que creaven les reserves setmanals varen estar en funcionament des de finals de 2013 fins principis de març de 2022. Llavors vàrem canviar la freqüència de les recàrregues dels imants i els scripts es varen haver d'adaptar.

La informació sobre els antics scripts i tasques periòdiques programades es troba a la pàgina Reserves automàtiques per l'estona de manteniment (de 2013-10 a 2022-03).

IMPORTANT: Les reserves per les estones de manteniment es crearan automàticament amb vuit setmanes d'antelació, per tal que, si s'escau, hi hagi prou temps per modificar-les.

Instal·lo el paquet dateutils per facilitar el càlcul amb dates:

$ sudo apt install dateutils                   
[sudo] password for sermnadmin: ******

Aquest es el programet que crea les reserves per l'estona de manteniment. S'executa tots els diumenges a les 3 de la matinada, i crea les reserves amb dues setmanes d'antelació per tal que es puguin modificar si s'escau. El programet també envia un correu electrònic indicant si ha pogut fer les reserves.

# This script runs the MySql commands needed to automatically create the

#
# To run this script every Sunday 2am append an entry like,

#
# to crontab. This entry means, at minute 0, hour 2, on every (*) day of
# the month and on every (*) month of the year, if that day happens to be
# a Sunday (day 0), execute the commands in the script file
# 'maintenance_nmr_bookings.sh' (this file).
