Dodgy behavior by scripts triggered by API

[Peter Bowen]

Greetings,

I am using cron to call a php script which in turn calls a filemaker script on a database on fmserver. This workaround is because I am sharing the server and don't have access to creating a schedule.

The script appears to run (it writes start and finish time to a log table) but the subscripts it calls don't run.

All the script steps are web compatible.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Pete

By "all script steps are web compatible" do you also mean the steps in the sub scripts, because that's the first thing that comes to mind.

Check your logs to see if/where errors are being thrown

Are the subscripts in the same database, if not does the related database have API permissions enabled for the user/pw you're passing?

lastly are you sure the subscripts aren't firing as opposed to say producing unexpected results.
