1. Write your own job control routine.

2. Use a third-party scheduler and the dsjob command line interface.

3. Schedule it through Director (which uses AT) 24 separate times - one for each hour - every day.

thanks for the suggestion ray.

Pity that the DS scheduler doesn't offer the option, but you have to love a challenge!!

Actually, was just playing with the scheduler and it is possible to schedule the job 24 times, painful but possible!

That was the third option I suggested.

Premium membership is not expensive, at less than 30c per day, and it helps to defray the hosting and bandwidth costs incurred by DSXchange.
