I like the scheduled approach (NT). A phantom in UniVerse like is shown below with the LOOP/REPEAT gets lost when the server is restarted. So you need to have a procedure that restarts the job. If you use the NT scheduler, it is always going to run -- even after a restart.

Wish we would have discovered it 4 years ago. We've been doing it the hard way (batch/script file in Scheduler/cron in Windoze/AIX) up to now. Why didn't UV Support ever tell us about this? :-( Thanks George! Now, if you still want to use the batch file approach you may find you'll need the following command ahead of the execution line: SET UNIVERSE_CONTROLLING_TERM=1 - it's been a while since we did this but I think this makes sure that Universe sees the process as a "phantom" and not something else. We ran into problems without it. Reported it as an issue to Universe a long time ago....not sure if it's ever been fixed. Also, don't know what "UDT" command does as indicated in Marty Benson's reply - doesn't work on our systems. Here's a sample of what our batch file might look like (as given to us by UniVerse Support).... ....The first line is needed if the UV data account is not on the same drive as the system .... substitute drive letters as needed for your system mappings....
