Email on due date approach / pass

Added by Carsten Guthardt-Schulz about 14 years ago

Hi there,

we have started using Redmine in our project and we like it much more than previously used Trac. I have one question, though:

Is it possible to have emails sent when a due date approches (e.g. 2 days before due date) or passes (actual date=due date+1d and issue still not closed)? That would be very handy, as some of our users keep missing their due dates.

Rgds,
Carsten

seems like this works without a plugin by simply adding

cd /var/redmine && rake redmine:send_reminders days=2 RAILS_ENV="production"

to /etc/crontab.

As described in RedmineReminderEmails ;-) I think you can even condense that to rake -f $REDMINE/lib/tasks/reminder.rake redmine:send_reminders days=2 RAILS_ENV="production", but it's more a matter of taste I guess.

I had to remove the quotation marks around "production" for this to work in crontab. So my crontab entry now looks like this and works fine:

00 7 * * * root cd /var/redmine && rake redmine:send_reminders days=2 RAILS_ENV=production
