Do NOT run UV processes directly from cron without using PHANTOM!!

When run from cron, uv processes get the same group process id. That id is used to determined the printer memory segment used. So if you have two uv processes that kick off and are running at the same time, they are using the SAME printer memory segment. This segment contains, among other things, the MFILES buffers. The summary version is that these multiple processes can then start stepping on each other's uv files causing file corruption and data loss.

I had this happening with a client just last year.

Invoke a unix script like this

0002: # Run program EWFTPAVAIL in /PROD
0003: ##################################################################
0004: #
0005: echo Start of Script
0006: cd /PROD
0007: echo "PHANTOM EWFTPAVAIL" | uv
0008: echo End of Script
