mad_mickey Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 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?

IdealData Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anatoli Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steven H. Blackwell Posted April 17, 2002 Share Posted April 17, 2002 Hiding the windows of the various databases will not adversely affect performance so long as the application is not in the background. Old Advance Man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfmcel Posted April 19, 2002 Share Posted April 19, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
