We simply start a job using the AT command scheduler (since you can access it from the command prompt): !at 20:00 cmd /c "d:\unidata\progs\overnight.bat"
Where overnight.bat looks like: Top of "OVERNIGHT.BAT" 001: D: 002: CD \UNIDATA\DLV 003: UDT PHANTOM "" This may put a command window on the console but it runs as a phantom in UniData and creates _PH_ output (not tested on 7.1.22). Our LOGIN program (run from the LOGIN VOC) checks for @USER.TYPE = 1 (phantom) and @COMMAND (what is in the "" in the bat file) and responds accordingly.
