I have used a similar type of program myself for years, but I run it as a service. The program checks for the existence of a file with a name like *.inv in a specific folder, where * is the invoice number in question. If the file is empty, the invoice is printed. If it contains a valid email address, a pdf is created and emailed. Once the job is done, the file is deleted, and the program waits for a new job.
