1980's??? Yes, but it works, ain't broke, reliable, KISS, and is easy to implement.
 I use cron from my Linux box to connect to the production Oracle database (OpenVMS) and do a RMAN backup with the catalog on a second Oracle database (OpenVMS) server. Beats the heck out of trying to get the backup scritp to rewrite its' self after each use. If either server has problems there are entries in the log. Ron

I simplified it by using cron instead ... <g>

Feeling particularly anal the other day, I used the following specification to
run statspack at the top of the hour, 15, 30 and 45 minutes after the hour.

variable jobno number;
variable instno number;
begin

        select instance_number into :instno from v$instance; 
        dbms_job.submit( 
                :jobno 
                , 'statspack.snap;' 
                -- every 15 minutes at 00,15,30 and 45 
                , trunc(sysdate,'hh24') +  ( ( 15 + ( 15 * 
floor(to_number(to_char(sysdate,'mi')) / 15))) / ( 24 * 60 )) 
                , 'trunc(sysdate,''hh24'') +  ( ( 15 + ( 15 * 
floor(to_number(to_char(sysdate,''mi'')) / 15))) / ( 24 * 60 ))' 
        ); 
        commit; 

end;
/

Seems to me that the time specs could be simplified a bit. Anyone care to give it a go? :)
