Closing users each night

[KirkDW]

I have 35 users and want them to close each night. I ask them but some forget. This can interfere with some nightly function. Is there an easy way. Server 19

I set the "Session Timeout" to 560 minutes but I always have 4 or 5 that don't close.

Run a scheduled system level/command line script!

The Admin API can be used to disconnect users. If you run it from a hosted FM file, you could even schedule it with a server schedule.

Thanks. This should help.

The command box appears and the disappears when I launch :\Program Files\FileMaker\FileMaker Server\Database Server\fmsadmin.exe.

The window will not stay open.

I figured it out. Thanks.

I created a batch file with this:

fmsadmin disconnect client -y -u **** -p ***********

The stars are the user name and password. I used the Task Scheduler in windows to run this batch file each night.

Thanks for the help.
