Hide Filemaker

[mad_mickey]

Should be a nice simple one this but haven't found the answer as yet.

I have an Apple Mac setup hosting my databases to the network. On this machine I am running an Applescript to open the databases in Startup Items and in conjunction with the Energy Saver control panel.

All the databases open fine but I would just like to add a short line at the end to hide the Filemaker Application.

Can any one give me the Applescript to achieve this?

How about

tell application "Finder"

activate

end tell

It doesn't hide FMP, but it puts it in background.

Couldn't find a "hide" command. What is the opposite to "activate"

[djgogi]

tell application "Finder"

set visible of process "FileMaker Pro" to false

end tell

HTH

HIDE FM SERVER OR SERVING CLIENT ON MAC?::

That will kill the performance, because all background tasks get few cycles of CPU and front application get much bigger portion.

[Steven H. Blackwell]

Hiding the windows of the various databases will not adversely affect performance so long as the application is not in the background.

Why not just have the AS send you an email informing you of a restart. Then you can just turn the monitor off and forget about it.
