Marc,
I like # amadmin <config> force [host [DLE]]*
I have had some systems where I put in a cron job, just prior
to the amdump, but the amdump was nightly (5x/week since we
have no operations staff) and the amadmin ran once/week, for
systems where I wanted for force level 0, lets say, weekends.
You could probably do the same monthly.
