Re: And yet again.........

Gary, Read up on cron commands. man cron from the command line should give you the basics. You will want to write a shell script (either ksh or bsh or sh depending on Unix variant and preferences) which can be slightly different based on which SHELL you are running. Also remember to 'append' your shell output to a log file so you can review the output the next day. If you are a true neophyte start with a simple shell script echoing 'hello world' to your log file so you can see how the mechanics work. Also make certain to test your shell script and dbaccess command during the day when you are there rather than just running it for the first time during the middle of the night when you can incur the wrath of a ticked off system administrator. Any other questions let me know. If you are just learning about shell scripting check out the Reilly Books (the ones with the furry creatures on the covers) - a great reference source.
