There are a few of these scripts out there... Check Doug Brown's old site
(dabcc.com and click on the old site link) for a version of the smart
script. This type of script is great for 24/7 environments. Yet you still
need to set idle/disconnect values for this to work.

I'm not sure what everyone else opinion is, but we have just gone live, and
I am in the process of creating a script that will do the following.
ROLLING SCHEDULE
At 10am (server 1 stops any NEW USERS connecting but allows those who are
already connected to continue until such times as they disconnect OR their
session is timed out.) Note a batch file will continuelly run query user for
example.
Once its detected their is no one else on the server it performs a reboot
After reboot it then re-enables logins
It then sends a command to SERVER 2 to do the same thing.....
Server2 tells Server3, server 3 tells server4 and so on.
This is my idea and I've not tested it YET !
