Sounds as if you need to use the DATE::CALC module. All the date addition,
subtraction, formatting, generation etc. functions I have ever had need for
are in there, and it has very good documentation in its perldoc. It's
probably not part of your standard installation, though. I'd try it and see
if that works for you.

Hey Tom,
Wednesday, July 18, 2001, 10:25:02 AM, my MUA believes you used
(X-Mailer not set) to write:

Why wouldn't you start it at 23:59, generate your date variable, sleep
for 2 miniuts, then do your ServiceStop/Roll Log/ServiceStart?
