Shell script for shutdown

Kent Searight
in FileMaker Server v7 - v11

Featured Replies

I have a shell script for closing files and shutting down FM Server that's called by the UPC when the power goes off. All works well except I can't seem to figure out how to suppress the prompt that occurs, asking me if I really want to close the files. In order for the script to continue a person must click Yes, but I certainly can't count on someone being present to click on that button when a power outage occurs. Any suggestions?

Running FMSA 11 on Snow Leopard.

Thanks in advance!

I'm assuming you use the fmsadmin command line, correct?

In that case you can use the -y toggle to make sure the prompt does not appear. Check out the help of the fmsadmin command line for more info.

Hi Wim,

Yes, that's correct, I'm using fmsadmin command line.

I'll try your suggestion on Monday and let you know how it goes.

Thanks for your help!
