To run a task on a server at a regularly scheduled time or at server startup, create a Program document in the Domino Directory.
A Program document is used to automatically run a server task at a specific time. You can also use a Program document to run an OS/2 command file, a UNIX shell script or program, or an API program. You can use the Program document to schedule tasks and/or programs.
