Actually it is probably because you haven't specified a timeout
====== from docs ========= timeout Optional 0 Length of time, in seconds, that ColdFusion waits for output from the spawned program. 0: equivalent to non-blocking mode. A very high value: equivalent to blocking mode If the value is 0: ColdFusion starts a process and returns immediately. ColdFusion may return control to the calling page before any program output displays. To ensure that program output displays, set the value to 2 or higher. If the outputFile attribute is not specified, any program output is discarded ====== from docs ========= WG > -----Original Message----- > From: jon hall [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: 18 December 2002 02:30 > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: debug report/image magick with cfexecute > > > That's interesting...makes me think that cfexecute doesn't report it's > content back to whatever the cf equivalent to stdout is, or it just > works in a different way than the other tags, or someone forgot about > cfexceute :).
