Could this script be sent directly from crontab?

AFAIK, the command "run script" has never has been part of the
FileMaker
dictionary. It should be "do script".
yes, you're right. From the reference:
tell application "filemaker pro" to do script fileMaker script
"Print Sales Report"
osascript -e "tell application \"filemaker pro\" to do script
fileMaker script \"Print Sales Report\""
Run within the appropriate user's crontab should work. (But then why
do I have all these shell scripts being initiated by cron which then
just run an osascript call? Hmm. You'd have to check).
Of course now days you should be using launchd - which I've played
with briefly but looks like a really nifty tool.
