does anyone have a script that they can share that gracefully shuts down all filemaker databases and then checks to make sure they are all closed and then reboots the server? we're running fmp server 10 on a mac xserve.

i know this can be done with fmsadmin but it would ideally require some error checking, etc. and i'd suspect that someone already has created one that possibly could be shared.

we find that we need to reboot the server about once a month or we have problems with databases and i'd like to schedule this as an automated process versus having to do it manually.

thanks!

Welcome to FM Forums.

You will be [color:red]a lot better off and a lot safer just to do this entire process manually. There is way too much opportunity for a damaging result if you do it automatically.
