System-level scripts
Script files must be placed in the Scripts folder on the master machine in your FileMaker Server deployment. To
schedule a system-level script to run, start the Schedule assistant as described above, then choose Run Script. Next,
select the System-Level Script type, then select the script file you want to run.
System-level scripts can perform whatever tasks you need to perform at the operating system level on the master
machine. For more information, see the documentation for the scripting language you want to use.
See FileMaker Server Help for more information about running scripts as scheduled tasks.

To send messages to FileMaker Pro clients, choose the Admin Console Clients pane and select one or more clients
