[X-Unix] Cron problem? [maybe]

[Russell McGaha]

Folks;
	I've a bit of a problem; I have an automated script to open a  
Filemaker Document that doesn't always fire of correctly.  The bash  
script is supposed to open the document, at 1825 via cron, only  
sometimes it launches the application without opening the document.  
Here is the script;

#!/bin/bash

FileMaker="";
let loop=0;
echo "Start"
open /AutoCloseDown;

while [[ "$Filemaker" = "" && ((loop -lt 2)) ]]; do

open /AutoCloseDown;
Filemaker=$(top -l1 | grep "FileMaker");

echo "Filemaker= "$Filemaker

let loop++
echo $loop
sleep 5
done

echo "stopping"
exit 0

As you see I try to open the doc twice [to make sure it launches], I  
thought at first the Filemaker was not launching, but the script now  
makes sure it does, and the app is open but the Doc doesn't open.   
I've also tried this with an Applescript with similar erratic  
results.  Has anyone out there had any troubles like this??  And more  
important, have any idea how to make sure this doc opens consistently???
