Has anyone found a solution to eliminate the human error from this process?  We are creating an alert by BE that will notify us when it is still on so we can correct before the customers try to logon in the event someone forgot to turn it off.  There are still holes in this though, one being humans are still involved and the other is time zone of customers being much earlier than we come in.

The sci-fi idea I was hoping someone had some thoughts on was this:

Can there be an automatic function be it system reset or scheduled restart, etc that would clear the lock and allow the system to be ready for customer use the morning after a Scheduled lockout?
