The cronjob debar_patrons_with_fines.pl is meant to add a restriction based on a fines threshold.
The problem is that the script adds a MANUAL restriction, which makes no sense. MANUAL restrictions are meant to be manually created, never automatic as this script does.
In addition, they are repeatable, not unique. Every time this script runs, it will add an additional restriction.
There is already a restriction type meant for this type of use case: SUSPENSION
We should change this script to create SUSPENSION restrictions instead of MANUAL restrictions.
In summary, this script should use the unique restriction type SUSPENSION to prevent multiple additional restrictions from being created on each run.
Test Plan:
1) Set up a patron with fines
2) Run misc/cronjobs/debar_patrons_with_fines.pl -c -m "Test message"
3) Note the restriction is created
4) Run misc/cronjobs/debar_patrons_with_fines.pl -c -m "Test message" again
5) Note another restriction is created
6) Delete the restrictions
7) Apply this patch
8) Run misc/cronjobs/debar_patrons_with_fines.pl -c -m "Test message"
9) Note the restriction is created
10) Run misc/cronjobs/debar_patrons_with_fines.pl -c -m "Test message" again
11) Note another restriction is *not* created!
