good luck!  The MNJ is the "midnight job" - a script that updates an
installation of aisp to track changes made in the manin copy.  The
script's name is do_daily.<hostname> and is on <hostname> in the home
area of the account that installed aips.  It should be run once in a
while - not every midnight as the name implies (although that is what
we do).  When I change the task to have your needs, I will let you
know and then you will be able to run the MNJ to get the new task.

Cheers,
