Hide Forgot
Description of problem: Happened to me multiple times now that I reserved a host via the web UI (max reservation time 7 days) and at the 7th day I forgot to extend the reservation so my host was gone along with all the debug data on it. It would be nice to have a reminder email sent, let's say 24h, before the reservation expires. That way you get reminded to check if you still need the host or not. Would have saved me a couple of times already. For people who do (not) wish this email, having a preference setting in the webUI could be a good idea as well. Thanks!
Bulk reassignment of issues as Bill has moved to another team.
Additionally would be good idea to sent notification an hour before via wall command.
This has happened to me, too. An early warning would definitely be appreciated.
This will be resolved in this proposal which I am working on. Hopefully can get it implemented in beaker 0.17. https://beaker-project.org/dev/proposals/beaker-usage-report-emails.html Cheers, Matt Jia
The usage reminder system implemented in Beaker 0.18 does indeed remind you about reservations which are going to end soon -- but it doesn't remind you any fixed amount of time beforehand. The reminders are only sent once per day at a fixed time. So for example, the reminder might be sent at 04:00 and the reservation might expire at 07:30 before you arrive at your desk. This has caught out a few people before. So I will leave this RFE open, about sending a reminder a fixed amount of time before a reservation ends. We will probably need it to be opt-in as well, or only enabled for reservations which were originally longer than X days. If I run a recipe with a 24-hour reservesys at the end I don't really need a reminder send immediately after the reserve notification is sent.
As I recall, the other wrinkle we came up with is that if your reservation expires on Sunday or early Monday morning, you really want to receive a notice the previous Friday, rather than on the Saturday. A possible way of tackling that might be: 1. Only enable this for 7+ day reservations 2. Send reminders at 72, 48 and 24 hours to expiry

given the last update date, should we close this?
I'd still appreciate it if the ideas in comments 6 and 7 could be implemented.
