I am new to EventGhost so don't know how to get this configured but what I want is to, at a scheduled time (say 03:00am every day) to quit the currently running instance of XBMC and immediately re-load it.
I've had a little play around in EventGhost but don't really know what I'm doing in there so thought I'd save a load of time and just ask for some help!
Thanks

UPDATE: I've figured out how to quit XBMC, but it wont start up again. I tried using the RESTART xbmc action but whilst it quits XBMC, it fails to start a new instance - nothing happens. I've tried running EventGhost as Administrator too but that hasn't made any difference.
Any ideas?

I believe there is a plugin called "timer" in EventGhost. You should be able to trigger the xbmc executable to launch at a specific time using that.

@LakersFan: That's great, thanks for your help.
@spoyser: Well, when I say I managed to quit XBMC, I did so by simply finding the XBMC2: Quit action under the SBMC plugin in EventGhost, then selecting Execute on the contextual menu, which quit my running instance of XBMC. I was hoping to be able to use the Restart action instead though, so never actually included the Quit action within my own macro.
