Thanks Martin, That's great, and it saves me from butchering the OTRS code to try to accomplish it. I'll grab the CVS tonight and try it out. Much appreciated.

I'm looking at using OTRS for first line help desk use. It looks like it'll do a large part of what I want. However, one thing I'd like is a little more control over escalation. I'd like the option to outline in the queue definition what will happen when a ticket hits it's escalation time. What I'm trying to accomplish is to move it to a seperate queue, and then send an email to an admin defined email address. Anyone know of a way to do something like that? Is something like that going to be a possibility in an upcoming release?

I added something like that to the bin/GenericAgent.pl (CVS or 1.0). -=> GenericAgent.pl looks in your system for escalation tickets and if the bin/GenericAgent.pl found one you can do some actions on it (move, set state, set owner, add note and execute a command line program (new!)). Kernel/Config/GenericAgent.pm [...] # -- # [name of job] -> move all tickets from xyz to experts # -- 'move escalation ticket to experts and execute CMD' => { # get all tickets with this properties Queue => 'xyz', Escalation => 1, # new ticket properties New => { Queue => 'experts', # your program (/path/to/your/program) will be executed like # "/path/to/your/program $TicketNumber $TicketID" ARG[0] will # be the ticket number and ARG[1] the ticket id CMD => '/path/to/your/program', }, }, # -- [...] This should solve your problem! .)

By the way, I'm running OTRS on an OpenBSD box and it's running perfectly fine.

Fine! :)
