Does your application stop each night?  I'm doing something like this in 
the batch file that starts my app daily... You could do something similar 
in fewer lines if you're not running windows...



REM assign d to date without time
for /f "tokens=1,2" %%u in ('date /t') do set d=%%v
REM strip off century from year
set timestr=%d:~6,4%%d:~3,2%%d:~0,2%

for %%F in (store_prod) do (
     for /F %%D in ("%%~tF") do (
         set mdate=%%D
     )
)

for /F "tokens=2" %%D in ('date/t') do set cdate=%%D

REM ---THIS IS NEEDED ON WIN2K TO STRIP 2003 DOWN TO 03.
for /f "tokens=3" %%q in ('ver') do set x=%%q
rem if "%x%"=="XP" GOTO XP
rem set cdate=%cdate:~0,6%%cdate:~8,2%

:XP

for /F "tokens=1,2,3 delims=: " %%i in ('time /t') do set q=%%i%%j%%k
set datetime=%timestr%_%q%

ren c:\oms\oms.log oms_log.%datetime%

if "%cdate%"=="%mdate%" GOTO OK

echo "OMS being run for first time today - resetting store"
mkdir c:\oms\store_prod_%timestr%
move c:\oms\store_prod\*.* c:\oms\store_prod_%timestr%
del /Q c:\oms\store_prod

:OK

..start your application
