A proper VISTA installation will have a bunch of recurring tasks (like linux cron jobs or mac launchd jobs) that ensure that the database remains clean and periodic stuff is completed. For example, the TIU recurring task makes sure that everything is signed; otherwise it will send a notification. Another example: Scratch globals for storing temporary data can get very large. A daily task (XQ XUTL $J NODES) cleans them up.
