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.
