Running builds once a day is easy enough with CruiseControl... simply
set a sleep period of 24 hours, then invoke it when you want it to
start.

For checking ClearCase, use the ClearCaseElement inside of
<modificationset>. It's documentated at
http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/anttasks.html#clearcaseelement

This will give you builds, but the reporting isn't very good.

Use CruiseControl. Really. It's not hard. :)

However, I can't really give specifics because I used ClearCase and
CruiseControl at my previous job, not my current one. As that was nine
months ago, my memory isn't clear on the details.
