No at the moment I have bottled at letting it run - however its Easter break
coming up so I might see if I can run it while the server is still running -
unless anyone says not to! the server should be quiet then as its mainly
business clients.

I'm not sure whether it can or not - I don't fully understand what it does
to know if it needs to run at boot up - kills your company if its takes 14
hours though or whether it could be made to run in the background and tidy
stuff up.

Hopefully someone more knowledgeable can help us all out here
