Garry Claridge Posted April 2, 2002 Share Posted April 2, 2002 I have a need to be able to perform certain database admin tasks remotely. I was looking at 'Timbuktu', however it is quite slow and a bit of an over-kill. So, I tried some Applescript from the Terminal application of OS X. It works fine. I am now able to login to the FMP host with ssh and issue Applescript commands; e.g. code: /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Filemaker Pro" to activate' /usr/bin/osascript -e 'tell application "Filemaker Pro" to open file "Data:db:openfirst.fp5"' Hope this is of interest.

mun Posted April 25, 2002 Share Posted April 25, 2002 You could also try VNC (like Timbuktu, as well as probably just as slow) or even try using a program called Albert - you can email requests for certain scripts to activate. Pretty cool stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
