Start FileMaker Server at Boot (not as root)
Authored by: mmcleary on May 05, '03 01:28:05AM

Although this works it does create a problem because FileMaker Server
now runs as root. The impact is that FileMaker Server Config runs as the
the logged on user and hence cannot control (i.e. Start and Start)
FileMaker Server.

It may look like FileMaker Server Config stops FileMaker Server, but
Process Viewer will reveal that its still running.

The solution is to start FileMaker Server at boot as the user which
normally logs on to the machine. To do this use the following;

sudo -u username ./fmserverd start -c fmserver.conf

where username is the account under which you want FileMaker Server
to run.
