Hey Group,

 

I am trying to run an script every night at 9pm.  the script runs an AppleScript to open a copy of filemaker run a report script and email it out. The script runs great when I run it locally. Runs the AppleScript perfectly. When I try to run it thru the scheduler it returns a "aborted by user" in the status.  any ideas?

Without intending to be obvious, have you checked your script for compatibility with FMS? You can do this in the edit script window.

Where is this "copy of FileMaker?" If it's on another machine, I'd use the scheduling options on that machine to launch your file/run the script.

Looking at this from a different angle - but is there any reason why this can't just be run as a server-side script?  Unless there is an incompatible script step you're using (like creating a PDF), emailing reports to users is a very common use of this server feature.  Plus, it's a lot more reliable than using FMPro as a robot.
