Automatically start FileMaker Pro Server (5.5)
Authored by: MadMarky on Jan 06, '04 01:27:22AM

Running FM Server 5.5 on a XServe machine strikes me as a somewhat odd thing to be doing. We happily use a SilverDoor G4 for our FM Pro Server and leave the serious processing to our XServe.

I originally intended to install FMP Server on my XServe, but was told by Apple Tech Support that doing so was a real waste of the XServe's potential. Also, FMP Server simply runs better under a standard configuration (non server) machine.

And on a non-server machine, getting it to autostart is not nearly as complex as your 'workaround' (which admittedly is brilliant, if a bit unnecessary in my humble opinion.)

Just my thoughts...
