How to run a program after scan is finished?

strubbel

Currently we run Sophos scans on the client machines during work hours. Because this slows machines down, we want to scan the machines nightly. Waking up the machines is not a big point, but because on some machines scans run fast and on others they might need hours, I wonder how we can manage that a program (shutdown) is run after the scan job has finished?

I assume others do nightly scans with shut downs, too?

    It did not work because the computer thinks it would idle when the scan runs. So shutdown is done before the scan is finished.

    Unfortunately there seems to be no way to recognise that the scan is finished - no event can be logged, no process does finish.

    So the only way to run nightly scans is to guess how long it will take, which is bad.
