    I am currently running ZAP V3.8, and was wondering if somebody may
    have some suggestions for a couple of procedures.  What I need to
    be able to do is shutdown ZAP every morning(execept weekends) at
    6:00am,  and then start ZAP every evening at 6:00pm.  I realize
    that starting ZAP is no real problem.  I can just submit the thing
    to run from a batch queue.  Is there a procedure that will shutdown
    ZAP without requiring manual intervention?? Any comments will be
    appreciated.
    
    						Thanks,

|     The easiest solution that I can think of is a command procedure
    like this:
    
    $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC ZAP$RUN_STATUS EXIT
    $ SUBMIT this_procedure /USER=SYSTEM/AFTER="06:00+1-"/QUEUE=local$batch
    $ SUBMIT ZAP$DIR:ZAP$START.COM /USER=SYSTEM/AFTER="18:00"/QUEUE=local$batch
    
      - local$batch should be defined on each node in the VAXcluster
        to point to the "local" batch queue, such as GIGI$BATCH.
    
    Once started, this should take care of the problem with the least
    amount of work.  I would put this procedure in SYSwatch (if you
    have it installed) to insure that it keeps running.
