[OPEN-ILS-GENERAL] alert for once juvenile becomes adult

[Justin Hopkins 📖]

Holly,

I think the simplest solution would be to run a script on a nightly cron 
that updated the database as necessary. Flip the Juvenile flag, change 
their profile, possibly remove the grouping/ident2_value, and add an 
alert. I thought we might be running something like that ourselves, but 
either I'm not finding it, or it's just something we'd also talked about 
doing but never did.
