IN case it gets sticky here's another idea for you that
might work.

Create the event you wish to have the logs copied, it
branches to appropriate place in your 8cmd file where it
deletes a certain semaphore.  NOw bear with me, because
you're going to use whatever means are at your disposal to
reboot the system, which effectively shuts down all three
nodes.  Before they start up, your autoexec or equivalent
looks for that semaphore you deleted.  IF found you bypass
the code which deals with your log files.  If flag not
found, invoke that piece of code, slice dice and puree log
files as desired, create semaphore file.

IF something else causes an unscheduled reboot semaphore
exists, logs won't be touched until the event, which will
then cause them to be processed because at invocation of the event the 
semaphore is deleted.

NOt very elegant I know, but if you get stuck that might be
one cure for you.


Regards,
           Richard
