[FX.php List] [OFF] FMS server leaky on OS X...?

[Joel Shapiro]

Hey Steve

Like Dale suggests, I always close files and then stop the services  
(both via Admin Console) before closing my MacBook Pro.  Hopefully  
you're at least closing the files first, even if you're not stopping  
the services (you are, right?).

FWIW: originally w/ FMS7/8 on an old iBook I didn't always stop  
services but then I noticed similar sluggishness, etc. (tho' I never  
bothered checking Activity Monitor).  I do find I sometimes need to  
reboot the machine to get FMS to either start or to host files when  
I've been using other apps a lot -- a pain I just chalk up to having  
my development machine be a laptop.
