[jp] Automating the Export of Data

Hi,

I'd like to automate the export of my DateBook and AddressBook data to
the various formats offered (from the jpilot "export" menu).

At the moment, for example, I manually export the DateBook database as a
"txt" file, compress it, and rename the file to a more meaningful name
(that is, one that includes, for example, my system name and current
name).  Then, I export DateBook database as a "csv" file and follow the
same mundane manual process...quite frankly, this manual process really
bites.

I'd like to write a script to automate this stuff for me.  But, in order
for the script to function appropriately, I would need to somehow
execute jpilot in the script.  Although I searched the jp manual/site
rather quickly, I did not find anything that would help me accomplish this.

Is it possible to automate the process I described above?  Suggestions
and pointers to related resources are welcomed.

Yes, I know that I can sync/backup with jpilot...I already do that too. 
But, I want to have my critical databases saved in various
formats..."you just never know when its gonna rain like cats and dogs".

Thanks for your time and effort.
DPD.
