Andrey Not that I know of, but its really simple to write one. Just call the SPs from a ESQL/C or Perl program and schedule it via cron. You could specify the SPs using arguments to the command or alternatively, put all this information in a table alongwith the schedule and have a single cron job wake up at regular intervals and check if any jobs are outstanding, and if so, run them.
