Why not
- write a little shell script "RestartMVbyCrontab.sh" like
----------snip--------
#!/bin/sh
file="/www/yourwebspace/catalogs/yourshop/pages/log/restartmv.log"
if /bin/cat ${file} | /usr/bin/grep "Dennis" > /dev/null
then
rm ${dir}
/path-to-minivend-bin-dir/restart
/usr/bin/mail -s "Restart Minivend" <yourusername>
fi
----------snip--------
- using a crontab with the above shell script
- create a directory pages/log
- copy the .access and .access_gate files into the directory pages/log
with
-----------snip-------------
restart: [if session username eq 'Dennis']Yes[else]No[/else][/if]
logrestart: [if session username eq 'Dennis']Yes[else]No[/else][/if]
*: 0
-----------snip-------------
- create a Minivend pages restart.html like

Make sure, you use the makecat script and restart the MV Server first
