on fm server on mac os 9 (below) their is a GUI version where you can see a lot of info on users and files connecting but on os x i couldt see anythin? just an icon that saids filemaker server is running.

To see the data your looking for In the OSX version you must log in to the Server from a remote machine using FileMaker Pro with the "Server Administration" plugin installed. (This plug in comes on the FileMaker Server CD. FileMaker 6 has it installed as a default.) On the remote client machine, at the top of the logon screen you'll see the name of the server along with the DB's below it. Double click on the Server name and it will give you access to a DB that lets you administer the database files as welll as see statistics on Server performace. IMPORTANT: Before you can do the above you'll need to enable "Remote Adminstration" on the server using FMServer Config. Go to Preferences/Administration tab.
