Index & Shutdown $10 Shareware What Does It Do? Index & Shutdown tells Sherlock to Index your hard drives and then shut down. You can run it at the end of each day when you are ready to shut down. Your drive(s) need to be indexed periodically for Sherlock's "Find by Content" to work properly. Before you can search the contents of a disk's files, you must create an index of the disk. If you have modified files on the disk since it was last indexed and you want to search the modified content, you need to update the index. The only way to be sure that find by content will always work is to index your drives each day. You could set up a schedule in Sherlock to index the drives each day at a specified time but that slows down your system while you are trying to use it. Index & Shutdown avoids that problem by indexing your drives during shutdown. Features Tells Sherlock to index the drives you have specified and when all indexing is done tells your Mac to shut down. * First quits all running applications and prompts you if documents need to be saved. * Puts away all non-local drives (servers). * Disconnects all users (with your permission) if file sharing is on . * Empties contents of Ram Disk and trash with your permission. What You Need? Any Macintosh. 1700K of free memory. OS 8.5 or later AppleScript 1.3 or later Sherlock (included with OS 8.5) 30-day Trial Index & Shutdown is $10.00 shareware.
