Someone asked this a while back in this thread: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=259160

My response there isn't exaclty setting it by a cron job, but I think it will work.

I think the problem is that Scheduled Tasks do not run if your site is off. So, I think you may need to write an actual cron job to run on your server. Do you hve access to run real cron jobs on your server? If so, Kevin did point out the variable you would toggle. You'd have to rebuild the datastore after changing it also.
