[Building Sakai] Delayed Announcement Email Notification

[Chris Ribble]

Hi everyone,

In our 2.7.1 instance we have noticed that when setting an announcement to 
be hidden until a later date and selecting the email notification to go 
out, nothing is sent upon the un-hide of the announcement. I have searched 
for some documentation or a JIRA ticket about this issue and found some 
information but I can't quite get it to work. So far, I have figured out 
that I need to get the ScheduledInvocationRunner quartz job to run on a 
regular basis. I set that up by adding the job in the job scheduler tool 
on the admin workspace and then setting a Cron trigger for every 5 
minutes. I waited for a while and nothing ever happened. I ran the job and 
my email was sent but any subsequent emails were not mailed out. I 
"somehow" finally got the job to run on a regular basis and everything was 
working fine. I decided to restart the instance to see what would happen 
and when it came back up the ScheduledInvocationRunner was not running. I 
need it to auto start when the instance comes back online. 

Am I headed in the right direction with this? Is there anything special I 
need to do to get this working properly?

Thanks
Chris
