Is there not at least one UDF posted that will run a program on a recurring schedule? There was never any mention of a control file in the original request. There is also no mention how this is all supposed to be kicked off.

Is this to be kicked from the logon script? There are several UDFs that can be used to setup a scheduled task that would not require a logon script.
