Hi,

just create a FM 10 Runtime to schedule a Mail-Script. The App should "work" without Login on the Server. I prefer to setup the Runtime as a Windows Service.

After trying Powershell, CScript and VB-Script, never received any Mail... Does anyone have a solution for my Problem?

P.S: the Mails are send via the Mail.it-Plugin from Dacons

Having done many projects involving email plugins, I'm curious as to why you're involving a "runtime as a windows service?"

Why not just a server script?

Thanks for reply...

The Problem is not the Mail Functionality.

If the Server just restarted or the Administrator Log off, or nobody Login; the Runtime didnt work.

Thats the Reason why I want to run the App as Service...

I still don't understand the need for a runtime...

Runtimes can't connect to Filemaker Server and can't be a host to other runtimes... so can expand a bit on what exactly your runtime does?

You can run any windows application as a service in theory. But since the apps are not designed that way it will never be stable (any UI element that wants to be drawn will freeze the "service").

Does this mail plugin work from Server? If not, 360works' does, and then you just schedule a server script. So, I say it again, why not a server script? Why do you need a client at all?

If you have Server 10 you don't need a plugin to send out email. The SMTP feature of the Send Mail script step works on server too...
