1. Sounds like you're not using FileMaker Server.

2. If you're having crashing problems with Filemaker you're doing something
wrong. Like maybe running with system file sharing turned on. If the app has
crashed there is a significant chance of file damage and you should solve
the problem instead of making a damaged file restart automatically.
