Filemaker Server and Apple Script

[balooka]

Hello

I need to run a daily script to unmount and mount a volume using applescript. The script runs fine in AppleScript but does nothing (as far is I can tell) in a scheduled script in FM server.

Is this a problem of location of the files (on the server) that causes the AppleScript to not function?

Testing the same on a local copy of the file works just fine.

The script I'm trying to run inside FM:

tell application "Finder"
	try
		eject disk "directie"
	end try
end tell

set my_volumes to "directie"
set the_volumes to list disks


if my_volumes is not in the_volumes then
	
	try
		mount volume "smb://192.168.0.169/directie" as user name "directie" with password "Vekabestadm2016!"
	end try
	
end if

 

Thanks!

I'm assuming you are using a system script schedule on FMS?  Then the script itself can only be in one location: the FMS scripts folder.  If it is not there you wouldn't be able to select it when you set up the schedule.

This could be a permissions issue: both on the script file itself (owner and group has to be fmserver / fmsadmin ) and the script will be executed in the context of that fmserver user.  That user needs the proper rights to do what you want; which it may not have.

Thanks Wim,

 

I assumed that because I was able to select the script in the server (using my admin username/password) I would be able to run it. I didn't think about the user rights on the machine itself as script maker ran the script on the FMS just fine. I'll look into the this now. Thanks for helping!
