Question on the scheduler.

Last night I had a schedule running for a bunch of targets (15 or 20)
However the observatory shutdown and closed a little earlier than I expected even though the weather was good.

I found this in the logs
[code]
[2024-02-26T01:27:03.443 GMT INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.scheduler] - "Job 'SDSS J190817.07+394036.4' scheduled for execution at 26/02 03:57. Observatory scheduled for shutdown until next job is ready."
[2024-02-26T01:27:03.444 GMT INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.scheduler] - Starting shutdown process...
[2024-02-26T01:27:03.444 GMT INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.scheduler] - "Warming up CCD..."
[2024-02-26T01:27:04.395 GMT INFO ][ org.kde.kstars.ekos.scheduler] - "Parking mount in progress..."
[/code

So it initiated the shutdown procedure even though the next job would have been ready in 2.5hours.

My shutdown procedure calls a script that powers off all the equipment and shuts down the PC.
If I didn't call this script, would the scheduler have restarted at 03:57 and started again?

Thanks,
Derek
