From where can I download your program(s) to test it after a while?
Do you invoke them from within crontab?

Basically, cron, yes.  Cron kicks off a job each day around midnight,
and
its Perl code detects week and month transitions to perform special
stuff
in addition to nightly processing.  The monthly processing cuts off the
dsmaccnt.log file and then runs the 'adsm-report' command on the month's
accumulation, directing the output as a YYYYMM datestamped file to be
stored amongst our other monthly reports.  Perl is excellent for text
processing applications...where performance is not important.
