That *would* do the trick.. ;-) You set up VMUTIL to run the WAKEUP program, with an event file with a line like this: ALL 00:00:30 06/28/07 CP SEND CP VMBATCH SPOOL CON CLOSE ALL 00:00:30 06/28/07 CP SEND CP VMBATCH SPOOL 00E CLOSE (Just a pair I saw in mine, similar to what you asked). The actual driver program running in my VMUTIL is something I wrote back in... 1987! (sheesh, I had no idea!) which replaced what IBM had supplied as part of hmmm.. was it called CMS/IPF? It includes, on the advice *then* of IBM, an event just BEFORE midnight which would cause VMUTIL to CP SLEEP until AFTER midnight. I no longer remember what evil things were threatened to one who didn't do that.
