Got a process that 'wakes up' and runs each night

[RayBec]

I've got a process on the system that wakes up at some point during the night and recreates a 'phonebook' table. I can't find where the pl file is called. Is there a 'standard' place for these types of 'sleeper processes'??
Thanks!

sounds like a cron job... are you on unix?

--jim

As a matter of fact, I'm running Linux...I know enough about linux/unix to be real dangerous...seems like there is a way to display the cron jobs...can you refresh me??

try using:
man cron
man crontab

if you don't want to go through all the documentation then the best option is to go for some web based adminstration program like webmin (
