I've been doing the same thing.  I think actually few doors run their maintenance when the first player of the day runs the door.  Most door games I've had experience with have a daily maintenance program that needs to be run once a day, which I have as part of a batch file that I have my BBS run around midnight.

I also ran RemoteAccess in the 90s, and I had it exit with an errorlevel to run maintenance every night at midnight.
