If you're already running a script, why not just add a script step at

Hello all,
For screwy server reasons, I need to be able to close filemaker after
running a script. As of now, I can close the file within filemaker,
but the filemaker program stays open.
I tried Send Event with "CMD /C TASKKILL /F /IM " & "FileMaker Pro
Advanced.exe" & " /T" , but it doesn't seem to shut down filemaker
like it does other programs. Anybody have an idea?
