Administrator’s Guide (Windows)

Administering FileMaker Pro Server 3-9
The guest name in the list changes to italics to show that FileMaker Pro
Server is attempting to disconnect the guest.
The selected guest sees a notification dialog box with your message
requesting he or she disconnect from the server. If the guest doesn’t
disconnect, the message is repeated approximately one minute before
FileMaker Pro Server is set to disconnect the guest.
When the set time elapses, FileMaker Pro Server disconnects the guest
and the name disappears from the Administer dialog box.
