Control filemaker server console from outside [php API]

I want to change file status of some files in FileMaker console using a cron / schedular job.

I have not found any other ways of doing this . No apis available .

If anyone know ant third party apis or Filemaker plugins , please suggest.

Solution

Apart from FileMaker console there is only one way to control FileMaker Server - it is bash commands on Mac or cmd on Windows.

I saw solutions before which run server side scripting and control Filemaker Server. I suppose you can do this with PHP as well.

e.g. to close all databases

fmsadmin close -y -u admin -p pword
