Most apps (but not all I've found) respond to -q. So you can use the AT
command scheduler (included in the NT Resource kit: Start Menu>Program
Files>Resource Kit 4.0>Configuration>Command Scheduler) to make a command
that specifies the path to filemaker and give it the -q command:

I am testing using Retrospect as a backup server during the day, to
back up our laptops so that those who use them won't have to leave
them overnight (when our regular backup script goes into operation).
We're testing it this week with a few of the laptop users, before
trying to put it into fu
Julia,
Backup Server saw the Zip disk. Removable disks such as Zip, Jaz, or DVD-RAM
are counted when Retrospect resolves your client container. Therefore, in
its normal polling of the network, it saw that a drive had been added, and
wanted to back it up.

At the server, you can set the prefs for each backup server script to
tell it how long to wait before trying to back up the same user again. I
think it's called the 'backup interval.' So that once a user is backed
up, the backup server won't look at their machine again for X number of hours.

While this is a good way to prevent redundant backups of the same client at
short intervals, Retrospect is still constantly polling the network when
Backup Server is active. This is how it's able to know when you've set your
client to "Back Up ASAP."
The "back up every..." setting applies to spec

I find that Retrospect on a 10base T network, Backup Server on a
Pentium II 233, Client on a PowerBook G3 266, (or even better, on
Virtual PC on a PB G3 266) can achieve 60MB/min transfer
The block on low-level interrupt and background activity is very
profound when the Retrospect is asking my travan 20 tape drive to
wind/rewind/load etc. Internet connections drop out, background
tasks seize up etc. It's as if Retrospect manages to completely turn
of the multi-tasking ability
