There ain't no place near this place like this place, so this is is
probably the place. :)

I'm not sure that Norton Disk Doctor was ever intended to be run in _AUTO_
(unattended) mode...  What do you do if NDD encounters a problem that
requires user input while you're down at the pub or on the loo?  ;-))

I don't run NDD as an automated event, but I do run Speed Disk which makes
a call to NDD if a problem is encountered.  My command processor (of
choice) is 4DOS and if you have the equivalent NDOS processor, then I may
be able to assist you.  Let me know if you are running NDOS (or are willing
to run NDOS) and I'll fling a copy of my Speed Disk batch at you.

           Cheers ... Gerald
