Hi Tomasz – no we never explored in fully and have since migrated to ULCC. It’s something I’d still like to do though and may raise with them so any insight would be valuable!

 

Thanks

Hi Nick,

 

Did you get the user email notification of embargo release working?

I’m asking because I may also need to get this working on our repository.

Hi Nick,

The routine that removes the embargo is …./eprints3 /bin/lift_embargos  - usually configured in the crontab to run.  It doesn’t have a facility to email you built in, but if you set the verbose flag it will output a line to say it is removing the embargo from item XXXXXX, which crontab may then email to your eprints user on your server – how you then get that email though…

just put the lift embargo in the crontab, and alias the user to your mail in /etc/aliases

 

 

 

 

Is there a way for eprints to notify me when an embargo expires?

 

Thanks
