Hi Naomi
You can 'teach' your app to shut down at specific time(s) and then use windows scheduler to start it up when necessary.

Only problem is that if one of your enhanced procedures gets into 5h
deadlock, scheduled shut down might be inacurate :))
Just kiddin'

We put logic to not do anything in the timer event, but I'm thinking we should change the timer interval instead to put it into complete sleed and not waste resources.
