Save projector settings permanently or schedule OBS to close itself

[DJfinch]

I use OBS to display to multiple screens in a nightclub. I have 'Save projectors on exit' selected, but in my absence the computer sometimes gets powered off or rebooted - without first exiting OBS.

I'm trying to make it the whole thing runs itself with no intervention, but unless I manually proxy into the computer from home every day and exit OBS, the settings aren't saved. This means that the screens are often left blank when the club opens for business.

Is there a way to permanently change the default projector settings?

Alternatively, can OBS be programmed to exit the application automatically at a certain time each day, or closed via a (non ‘kill task’) command line string?

I thought about using a scheduled system reboot, but that kills OBS without exiting, this not saving the projector settings.

Thanks in advance.

I was looking for a similar solution and the windows taskkill command can send a "exit" request without being forceful, however I noticed that you need to go in and turn off one setting in OBS first. If you open settings and go to advanced, there's a check box for "show active outputs warning on exit" and you'll want to uncheck that, otherwise you'll get a pop-up message when running the taskkill command. To run taskkill you could either set-up a bat script or a task in task scheduler, but you want to run "taskkill /im obs64.exe" and it should do a "soft" exit to OBS. In my tests if a recording was running in mp4 format, and this process was used, the video wouldn't get corrupt and OBS would stop the recording and then exit- so I assume this would also save your settings on exit, but I haven't tested that
