I'd like to use an Active4D page to run some routine processing (vs.

describe how it is done?
You could schedule a curl or wget command to make a request of the local host:
curl -qo - http://localhost/4dcgi/do-overnight-routine.a4d
wget -qO - http://localhost/4dcgi/do-overnight-routine.a4d
[Of course, you need to make sure you can't call the script from the
outside world...]
David (and Michael),
Thanks! I love simple answers.
