Schedule Closing Index Server (OpenInsight Specific)

Has anyone tackled the problem of scheduling the workstation running as an index server to close the index server before the daily backup kicks in? Something like using scheduling software to run a small VB app which just closes OpenInsight?

Any utility which automatically runs/closes scheduled tasks could, probably be used for this.

Use IDLEPROC, set for a specific time, then just have the machine shutdown. Poltergeist is a shareware/freeware thing we use to start OI back up agian later. Watch out for midnight on the idleproc though.

Thanks Aaron,

Good idea, although I was wondering if this could all be done in one place easily by the user. Is Poltergeist (or anything else) not able to close down OI after a certain time?
Watch out for midnight on the idleproc though.
Ahh yes, the good old S86.4K bug!

Well, Poltergiest basically just has a list of commands to run. I suppose if it had a program it could run to shut down OI, it would work, but it's easier to work with IDELPROC or a post-index process or something.
Just give them a window with a shut-down time, store it in an INI file, then use that for the shutdown time. Poltergiest will have to be set externally, but it's not that difficult.
