Automatic startup of FileMaker Pro Server
Authored by: bradrellinger on Jul 07, '04 02:16:42PM

i followed the directions on FileMakers site but changed two things:

1 - added sudo - u admin, to make it run as the admin instead of root

2 - pointed the directory to the Applications folder

Here is what the FileMakerServer file looks like:

#!/bin/sh
. /etc/rc.common
##
# Start FileMaker Server
##
FMS_PATH="/Applications/FileMaker Server 5.5/FileMaker Server Config.app/Conten$
if [ "${FMSERVER:=-NO-}" = "-YES-" ]; then
ConsoleMessage "Starting FileMaker Server"
sudo -u admin "$FMS_PATH""fmserverd" start -c "$FMS_PATH""fmserver.conf"
fi

this works great on Mac OS Server 10.3.4
