Automatic creation of tickets for reccurring maintenance tasks

Hello,
I'm wondering if OTRS supports creating pre-defined tickets
automatically at certain intervals of time. For example, let's say
someone should check the logs of some server every week, a ticket would
be created automatically every Monday for this task.
I've read about the Generic Agent, but it didn't see anywhere that it
could also create tickets.
Thanks,

Hi,
I use crontab + scripts in Perl that injects emails in postmaster.pl
to do that for managing my backup works.
Generic agent is for now only for ticket yet created. But I also guess
it will not be difficult to create what could be called a "generic
customer" to automatically create tickets inside OTRS application.
Hope you can understand my english (et bonjour de France !)

Hi Jérôme
Simply create a cron job which sends an email to otrs. You can parse that email with the postmaster filter to set some X-OTRS-Headers or set it direct during creation of that email.
