About a year ago I updated our systems to run a cron job once a day
which runs the following script (and updated it a few months ago to kill
the calendar factory too) as long as the evolution UI isn't running:

### cron job
0 2 * * * /home/diltonm/bin/stopEvolution.sh 1>/dev/null 2>&1

### evolution kill script
#!/bin/sh

# exit if evolution client is running
#EVO=`ps -ef|grep -i "evolution --component=mail"|grep -v grep|awk {'print $2'}`
EVO=`ps -ef|grep -i "evolution --component=mail"|grep -v grep`
if [ -n "$EVO" ]; then
  exit
else
  # kill existing evolution to workaround memory leak
  evolution --force-shutdown
  pkill e-calendar-fac
fi
