VADV32 will look for the trigger file every minute. If the file exists, then it
will run the command specified for that trigger file.

So for your example of running vpost, I would setup a windows scheduler event
to run once a day that would create a file (e.g. vpost.flg). Then in VADV32
setup a new file trigger event that looks for vpost.flg. Set the command to run
vpost.exe and the parameters needed for vpost. Set it to run minimized so it
isn't popping up on your screen and set it to delete the trigger file.

When VADV32 finds vpost.flg, it will run the command + parameters in a
minimized window and it will delete the trigger file so it isn't repeated until
the trigger is created again.
