Many moons ago I documented the process for the accounting department
when they switched from a home-grown accounting process to an Oracle
Financials process (don't shoot the messenger..they were the ones who
insisted on running Oracle Financials on a desktop PC). Once
everything was setup, you click the command to run. It would then run
for 9 hours.

Since it was internal documentation, we DID include the suggestion to
go home, have a glass of wine, see the kids, then come back 9 hours
later.
