do shell script

Hi People,

I've also asked this elsewhere, so if you are reading this for the second time, my apologies!

I'm trying to start and stop FileMaker Server on OSX via AppleScript.

Via terminal is really easy. Make sure the log files exist, then execute

<posix path to fmserverd> start <posix path to fmserver.conf>

This works with no problems. However if I put exactly the same command in a "do shell script" command, AppleScript will stay hung until the daemon is stopped. The same problem happens if I try to stop the daemon via a do shell script command, AppleScript hangs until the daemon actually completes stopping.

I've seen other people report similar problems with other commands, but I've never heard of a solution. Does anyone know if this can be done?

Peter
