Julian,

Perhaps you could create a table with a timestamp field and 1 record. Then
have a (perl/python/etc...) script running under a cron job update the
record. Setup your trigger to run when the record is updated.

Is it possible to trigger certain events at pre-defined times? I am using
version 6.5.2, which suggests triggers can only be kicked off with a
<INSERT|UPDATE|DELETE> sql command.

Thanks, Julian
