[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] Action triggers

[David Busby]

Alexey,
  Yes, that draft document is still relevant. We do like Ben does
using that 2.0 draft as a reference for creating cron task with action
trigger runner.  I've updated the Wiki page with some examples.  ATR
processes holds available / expiration, checkout due emails (or sms),
password resets and almost whatever other "automagic" tasks your
organization can think of.

From that page and other documentation I gather that active triggers happen automatically and passive triggers need a cron job. Ok.

Is it a problem of missing documentation for this section in 2.1 and 2.2?  Or was the section removed from documentation because the feature is obsolete or no longer needed or not recommended?
