rob told you both how to run the maint in scfg.  if you follow those instructions, it will launch correctly.

that is your real workable solution.

regarding you thought i'd have an elightened way to do it, i mentioned that you can create a file flag for it and run the maint if needed.

you can have the date in the flag file filename, have it search for it and if it doesn't exist, run the maint and then enter the doorgame.
