Run schedule agent on specific view

I need to have a agent run on documents in a view at night to update them and send an email to Supervisors.

I currently have written this:

Sub Initialize

      Dim s As New NotesSession
      Dim db As NotesDatabase
      Dim view As NotesView
      Dim doc As NotesDocument
      Dim agent As NotesAgent

      Set db = s.CurrentDatabase
      Set view = db.GetView( "lkupPendingRequests")
      Set agent = db.GetAgent("Supervisor")
End Sub

I feel that I am missing something to actually kick off the agent. When I run the agent Supervisor manually it works but when run it scheduled, it will not run. Any ideas?

You need to execute the agent as scheduled, , and have it get the documents/ view. Why do you need two separate processes ?

I hope this helps !

Oh, and if your view- processing code is in agent Supervisor, then there is no need to get the view or document before starting mentioned agent.

Or did I misunderstood something?

I do not want to run the agent on all the documents in the database.

I have a selection on the view that if the ContactName != Supervisor, I want to send a email notification to the Supervisor so they can approve the request.

So I thought, I would create the view, create the agent, and then schedule the agent to run at 1:00 AM on the that view but not all the documents. Am I missing something or is there a easier way?
