[FX.php List] Querying which FileMaker Pro IPs are logged into the server

[Steve Winter]

Bob,

IIRC the plugin comes on the CD with FMS, and there's an option within FMS
(sorry I don't have a version here to look at) that allows the plugin to
be downloaded from the server itself...or you can copy it off the FMS CD
directly onto a client machine...

The plugin is really useful as it allows you to see which DBs are open on
the FMS box, and open/close them individually, as well as view details
about connected users, like which DBs they have open, how long they've
been connected for etc etc...

It seems that this plugin is only for versions of server prior to 7, as
the FM website lists as one of the new features of FMS 7;

Remote administration

    * FileMaker Server Administration replaces the client remote
administration plug-in used in previous versions. Administrators can
remotely configure and maintain servers using FileMaker Server Administration.

For me I'd be completely lost without it, as my FMS machine is in a
completely different country, so I need to be able to close DBs on the
server, then ftp updates onto the server, and reopen them...I'm sure when
we can afford to go to FMS 8 there there'll be something just as useful
there too...

Best of luck..

Cheers
Steve
