VBScript and FileMaker Server ???

[jaemi]

How would I go about accessing the FileMaker Server using VBScript or other scripting language to access the database. Reason for this is to find out if database is running or not. Any help would greatly appreciate it.

If you are running Filemaker Server - you can find out if the databases are open by starting Filemaker Pro and clicking on Hosts. That will show you the name of the computer hosting files and the available files.

The FM Server CD also has a program that can be installed at a FM Pro workstation that will allow you to "look" at the server and open or close files for hosting.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for the response. Perhaps I wasn't clear on my first explanation. I need to code a script that will tell me if the database is up and running. This is so that I can automate the process of monitoring the status of the FM server.
