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

[Gjermund Gusland Thorsen]

Well that one I have thought of... but there are certain things one
should leave as thoughts and not really do... no to quote Sigmund
Freud on this.

The best solution I have found so far is to make a table of logged in
FMPro users, and their IPs, with modification time, and do a query on
less than one hour in modification time. However I find this to be a
bit messy, best thing would have to be to build a new query similar to
FMView(), but I have no clue where to grab the data :-(
