Auto send email (cronjob?)

[romenov]

Hello,

I'm a student and I'm new to filemaker, we have to make a script that runs (say at 00:00) and checks if there are any alerts that need to be sent.

Is there a way to do it like a cronjob or some sort on filemaker (it will eventually run on a filemaker server)

Kind regards,

Maarten

Later versions of FM Server can run server-side scripts that can do the job.

To do it without FMS you'll need a "robot" machine running FM Pro, and something to run the alert-check script once a day. Cron will work for this.
