Subject:      specifying profile option sas

normally on WinNT/W2K server, I run my sasjobs via the NT Scheduler by using
the command:

c:\sas\sas.exe c:\path\modulename.sas

so, for example if I want to schedule a module specialjob.sas in c:\temp,
the command in the Scheduler looks like
c:\sas\sas.exe c:\temp\specialjob.sas

my question is: when several jobs autoschedule (some run at hourly
intervals, some more often) at the same time, sas puts up a window
complaining the PROFILE is in use and if I am not present to click on the OK
button, the job sits there until someone walks to the server

is there a profile switch option to ignore the problem that two or more jobs
may attempt to use the same profile and to use some temporary profile
instead?

the cfg file contains the string -SASUSER <location> but I'm not sure how to
tell the Scheduler to ignore possible conflicts if two jobs are attempting
to use the same folder ?
(ie -SASUSER C:\SAS\V8\ )

tried looking through google but nothing matched this.
