Absolutely. The routine maintenance stuff - expiring dead sessions, 
deleting temp files, etc - can easily be handled with cron jobs.  If you 
have database-specific needs like archiving or deleting aged data, even 
that can be automated once you get a handle on Interchange programming. I 
rarely hear from my completed projects, except to occasionally add new 
features and answer "what if" questions - their stores just hum right along.
