Re: NT Informix nightmare - Version 7.22 TC1 for NT

If you don't have the resource kit, try Arcana Scheduler (www.arcanadev.com - I think). It's about $40 for a single machine licence, and it *works* (unlike the at command built into NT). Haven't used it for Informix backups (our Informix server is still on good old SCO), but it should be flexible enough (you can specify username/password to run as, actions to take if the job fails, event logging, etc). You can download a 30 day trial from the website. HTH Richard.
