Re: [Quickfix-users] Can turn a session off?

[Grant B. <gbi...@co...>]

I'm afraid I don't have much experience with using StartDay and
EndDay.  I'm not sure what happens if you set them both to the same
day.  (I haven't yet encountered a system that required a multi-day
session.)

I think using ini is the wrong approach.  The ini file is loaded when
you start the app; if the app is running, any changes to ini won't be
recognized until you kill and restart the app, and it seems silly to
restart an app just so it can sit in a disabled state.

In practice, maybe scheduling via cron is more appropriate for what
you're doing.
