Before version 3.8
EscalatePriorityLinear is a ScripAction which is NOT intended to be called per transaction. It's intended to be called by an RT escalation daemon. (The daemon is called escalator).
EscalatePriorityLinear uses the following formula to change a ticket's priority:
Priority = InitialPriority + (FinalPriority-InitialPriority) * (Now-Starts) / (DueDate-Starts)
Unless the duedate is past, in which case priority gets bumped straight to final priority.
Unlike RT::Action::EscalatePriority, priority is not decreased if it's above FinalPriority.

RT::Action::EscalatePriorityLinear
=head1 DESCRIPTION
EscalatePriorityLinear is a ScripAction which is NOT intended to be called per
transaction. It's intended to be called by an RT escalation daemon.
(The daemon is called escalator).
EsclatePriorityLinear uses the following formula to change a ticket's priority:
Priority = FinalPriority * (Now-Starts) / (DueDate-Starts)
Unless the duedate is past, in which case priority gets bumped straight
to final priority.
Unlike RT::Action::EscalatePriority, priority is not decreased
if it's above FinalPriority.

I did not want the escalation changing the "Last Updated By" field. I adjusted the sub Commit section (2nd Line) with the following:
sub Commit {
my $self = shift;
my ($val, $msg) = $self->TicketObj->__Set(Field => 'Priority', Value => $self->{'prio'}, RecordTransaction => 0);
unless ($val) {
$RT::Logger->debug($self . " $msg\n");
}
}
I have found that this change does not affect the "Last Updated By" field assuming that it will NOT be changed to final priority. IF the change is going to cause it to jump directly to Final Priority (i.e. it is passed due date) then the "Last Updated By" changes to your cron user. -Kevin "gentgeen" Squire (RT 3.6.1 from Debian Repo)
use this:
sub Commit {
my $self = shift;
my ($val, $msg) = $self->TicketObj->_Set(Field => 'Priority', Value => $self->{'prio'}, LastUpdate => 0, TimeTaken => undef);
unless ($val) {
$RT::Logger->debug($self . " $msg\n");
}
}
