Flash Live Media Encoder 3.2 - Scheduling automated maintenance restarts

According to Adobe online documentation one is supposed to be able to "Scheduling automated maintenance restarts" for Flash Media Live Encoder. 

The documentation leaves much to be desired.

Adobe Flash  Media Live Encoder 3 * Scheduling automated maintenance restarts

I'm seeking a more detailed explanation on how to accomplish the task of "Scheduling automated maintenance restarts" of Flash Live Media Encoder on the Mac, since I can't get it to work based on the limited documentation available online.

I have located the Startup.xml file that is used when the application is launched.  On a copy I added the time I want the restart to take place and saved the file.  When launching the application based on the new changes Flash Live Media Encoder errors out and then defaults to the factory settings.  Destroying my Startup.xml file in the process.

The documentation talks about a "my_profile.xml" file, but I can't locate this file on the Mac.  Maybe the my_profile.xml is a file I create that will over ride the Startup.xml file?  I don't know because the documentation is so limited.

If anyone out there does know please share the details as to how this is actually made to work.

Thanks

    I run FMLE on windows but it should be the same on mac too. In config file there are entries I edited like this:

        <restartinterval>

            <days>6</days>

            <hours>23</hours>

            <minutes>59</minutes>

        </restartinterval>

    to restart FMLE every week.

    You can run FMLE with alternative profile from shell: fmlecmd /p /path/to/your/config.xml
    Hope this helps.
