I was wondering if there is a feature in Calibre to be able to schedule the program to turn on/off on a daily basis?

I have over 700 books and user manuals. I've notice that the program seems to eat up Mem Usage as it continues to be active during a whole week--even though it is minimized to my tray bar. It gets to a point that it slows down my XP machine or Calibre becomes unresponsive when I try to restore it to a full window--I only have 2GB or RAM on this machine.

I would love to only fetch the News and then have the program turn off during the rest of the day. And only turn it on manually when I need to send a new book to my Kindle or add a new one. So I would like to be able to schedule it to turn on at 5:55am and turn off at 7:00am so it finishes fetching the news and emailing it to my Kindle 3.

Hopefully there is a way without having to use a third party program. Thanks.
