Thanks Chris! It turns out I actually do have /etc/cron.d/koha-common and didn't even realize it was there (running as ROOT, as well as /etc/cron.daily/koha-common and /etc/cron.hourly/koha-common). I added the other entry to the ROOT crontab file "manually". If this is the entry in the /etc/cron.d/koha-common file is this all that I need for the zebra rebuild? If a librarian adds a new holding, it should appear in search results within 5 minutes with this cron entry, right? */5 * * * * root test -x /usr/sbin/koha-rebuild-zebra && koha-rebuild-zebra $(koha-list --enabled)
As Paul mentioned, there are certain tasks/admin functions that seem to require a complete rebuild and not just an "incremental" one...does the /etc/cron.d/koha-common take care of doing that periodically? Or should I leave my complete zebra rebuild in the ROOT crontab as I have it now, perhaps? THANKS!

Because the packages put koha-common in /etc/cron.d that does the indexing. The fact you have reindexed as root will have mucked up all sorts of permissions, including breaking this cron job.
