Here's an interesting factoid that I'd be willing to bet few people know.. Automation Server isn't the only ALUI product that runs jobs on a daily basis. Collaboration does too. Or, more specifically, Notification Server does.
Notification server contains an event processor which tracks and runs the following Collaboration events (if notification isn't running, these won't run):
- RoleSynchronizaitonJob - Synchronizes collaboration roles to community security. You can set this on a per project basis.
- TaskListNotificationJob - This job emails out daily task list summaries.
- RecycleBinCleanupJob - This job cleans up the collaboration recycle bin based on your Collaboration Administration settings.
- VersionManagementJob - This job manages the number of document versions, as controlled by the corresponding setting in Collaboration Administration.
- SummaryNotificationJob - If you have summary notifications selected and set up in Collaboration Administration, this job will send out notification summaries for projects.
For details on runtimes, you could look at and/or manipulate the CSJOBS table in the collaboration database. Surprisingly, though, you can also use the (extremely unfancy and apparently undocumented) configuration page for changing their schedule:

So now you know...
