I want my program to run for a certain time, for example 7am-2.30am everyday. Is this possible? You can set up a cron job to start your program every day at whatever time you want: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron To shut down the program, have your program periodically check the time and exit if the time is past the time you want to shut down. Exactly how you do this would depend on how the program is structured. --001a11c251c4eedd9a0507996677 Content-Type: text/html; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable
