I'm not sure either, but you could try it in a sync block and see if it
works and let us know ;-) I use mySQL, and this is an issue I will
tangle with too...so let the list know what works for you.
You might also want to look at some scheduling software like
quartz http://www.opensymphony.com/quartz/ you can set it up to schedule
jobs at any time, recurring and likewise.

I'm not sure if getRuntime().exec(String cmdline) is synchronous or not.
Also I don't know if mySql makes any provisions for locking a table
during a
dump.
Those are the questions I would want answered before going ahead.
