NAME

       rt-crontool - Command-line interface to Request Tracker

SYNOPSIS

           # find all active tickets in the queue 'general' and set their priority to 99 if they are overdue:
           rt-crontool \
             --search RT::Search::ActiveTicketsInQueue  --search-arg general \
             --condition RT::Condition::Overdue \
             --action RT::Action::SetPriority --action-arg 99 \
             --verbose

           # Escalate tickets
             rt-crontool \
               --search RT::Search::ActiveTicketsInQueue  --search-arg general \
               --action RT::Action::EscalatePriority

DESCRIPTION

       This script is a tool to act on tickets from an external scheduling tool, such as cron.

       Security:

       This tool allows the user to run arbitrary perl modules from within RT. If this tool were
       setgid, a hostile local user could use this tool to gain administrative access to RT. It
       is incredibly important that nonprivileged users not be allowed to run this tool. It is
       suggested that you create a non-privileged unix user with the correct group membership and
       RT access to run this tool.
