Folks,

I am trying to have a script start up FileMaker Server. The following (which is a single line in AppleScript) works, but the script or the application running it hangs. Any idea why? The same commands given in Terminal don't hang the shell.

do shell script "cd \"/Volumes/Calvin/FileMaker Server 5.5/FileMaker Server Config.app/Contents/Resources/\";./fmserverd start -c fmserver.conf"

Well, you could tell Terminal to do it. ;)

That's ugly, but I might go with it if nothing else works.

And while I haven't tried, maybe one of those "&" thingies wot put it into the [unix] background (i.e., a kind of asynchronous launch) might help?

That doesn't do it. If it was locking up Terminal that would be the thing to do, but it doesn't seem to be the case that the Unix command isn't returning.

David
