To disconnect a selected client or all clients from FileMaker Server:
1. Click the

clients.
2. Click
, then choose
Disconnect or
Disconnect All Clients.
If you choose to disconnect all clients, the Disconnecting All Clients dialog box opens; otherwise, the Disconnect Client dialog box opens.
3. For the message, type the message to send to clients before they are disconnected.
4. For Delay time, enter the number of minutes between when the notification is sent and when clients are disconnected.
5. Click OK.
Clients see a notification dialog box with your message requesting that they close their connection to a file.
If the client hasn’t already disconnected, FileMaker Server disconnects the client when the delay time elapses.
Notes
• If you are a server administrator, you can disconnect all clients from FileMaker Server. If you are a group administrator, you can disconnect only clients who are currently connected to the databases in your administrator group.
• If you disconnect a FileMaker Script client, the script is immediately stopped.
