At one point there was a command line version for windows, what happened to it? I am now running IDL 8 on a Windows server 2008/R2 box, so can't implement some of the suggestions found on this forum, such as create a linux cron task.

Thanks everyone, good suggestions all. I have now used and tested the IDL.exe solution, works great. Can't believe I didn't realize it was there all along. Colin
