Steve, Once you have a command file like Razzak's example that does what you need, you can launch it from a batch file that runs at 4:00 am, or some other time that the apps could be scheduled to be offline, but when you weren't necessarily there.
For example, if you start with Razzak's simple example, you could add some R:Base error trapping after each command, and some commands that would log progress and report errors to you. Your batch file will stop the witango 5 server, start R:Base, run your maintenance job, then start witango 5 server again. If you have users click somewhere on an html page before they hit the top TAF file, you can also have your batch file copy a "Application temporarily offline" html page over your welcome screen, and put the good one back later. Something like this operating system batch file: RTangoReload.CMD ================== copy c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.htm c:\inetpub\wwwroot\online.htm copy c:\inetpub\wwwroot\app_is_offline.html c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.htm net stop "witango server 5" c:\rbti\rbg7\rbg7.exe c:\databases\mywebapp\MYReload.RMD net start "witango server 5" copy c:\inetpub\wwwroot\online.htm c:\inetpub\wwwroot\default.htm ================= Then you set up a "scheduled task" to run your batch file at 4:00am.
