Description

This script is a standalone script meant to be run periodically (i.e. once daily) via crontab. It can be given optional parameters for filtering by projects and/or by tracker, and can look ahead for due dates a configurable number of days (default=3).

Usage

Usage: [--help] [--debug] [--project <projectName>] [--tracker <trackerName>] [--days <daysInFuture>]
 --help  show this help
 --debug show extra debug information
 --project   name of project to process
 --tracker   name of tracker for filtering issues
 --days      how many days in the future to whine about

Known issues

For some reason, the script does not grab the config.action_mailer.delivery_method from the ../config/environment.rb properly (all other parameters seem to be ok), so the script checks the value and resets it to :smtp programatically. If someone has a fix, please help.

It can be usefull indeed.
I've added a similar functionality in r1459, with a few differences:
  • only assignees are notified
  • each user receive a single mail with the list of the issues that are assigned to him and due in the next days
  • the script is written as a rake task

Days, project and tracker options are available.
More info by running:

rake -D redmine:send_reminders

Carl, let me know what think.
