iwp keeps shutting down

The iwp keeps shutting down. Is this happen to somebody?

I browse the files as soon as I open FMP7 but within an hour I can't

I've noticed this as well... I'm running 7.02 on mac os 10.3.4.

I have figured out a way to (sort of) remotely administer IWP. When IWP stops responding, I log into my mac with ssh, and using the "top" command, find the PID of the FM Web Pub. Since it's not responding anyway, I use the "kill" command to stop the server. Then I go to the /Applications/Filemaker/Extensions/Web Support/FM Web Publishing.app/Contents/MacOS folder and run the following command:

./FM Web Publishing -noServer

This is the process that runs when you enable IWP through the FMPro menu. It also allows access to the DB over the web again.

I don't think that this method should cause corruption, since I'm not closing the database or Filemaker itself. Also, you can't even get the IWP homepage to come up when it stops responding, and this doesn't even query the DB.

Now somebody here ought to be clever enough to figure a way to have applescript periodically send an http request to the IWP server, and if no response is received then restart the server using the terminal commands I've used here.

As far as IWP not responding, this is something that FMI ought to fix...

Anyone else use IWP alot yet on Mac... or Windows? This seems like one of those "almost there" features that just needs to be made a bit more robust. Perhaps server advanced will be more robust, but I'd hate to spend $2500 to find out that it's just as flaky.
