I have a script that runs in the background background that updates records from an external mySql database.

To get it to update I have it loop and I put a "pause for 300 seconds" command in the loop.

Works fine, but I set up a toggle script that will set a global value to 0 to signal the looping script to stop looping.

In theory this works but FM does something unexpected: when the loop script is paused, if any other script runs, it will no longer resume without having to push the continue button (the timer stops functioning).

Why is FM forgetting to resume the script if a different script runs? is there a work around?

Are you running this second script from a button? Is the Button Setup option (pause, resume, exit, halt) set to Resume for that second script you're triggering?

you know I've never noticed that before. It was set to pause -thats what was causing the problem, but it's almost 5 and tomorrow starts my Christmas vacation- I'll come back to this issue in a week. Thanks!!

Thanks a million! This solved a problem for me as well!
