Here's an example of a batch file that you could schedule via AT or WinAT
(or any other non-CF scheduling service). The first two lines set NT
environment variables. QUERY_STRING is anything that might appear after the
? in a URL calling your template. You'll probably need the double quotes
around this line because the multiple = signs in a typical query string
confuse the command processor. The second environment variable is the
complete path of the CF template file that you're executing. The last line
calls the CF executable, which will use the environment variable previously
set.
set "QUERY_STRING=RequestTimeout=300"
set CF_TEMPLATE_PATH=d:\web\mo\xfer\lodging.cfm
c:\cfusion\bin\cfml.exe
I wouldn't mind seeing that post regarding getting CF scheduling to work.
I'm not having any luck. I use CFSCHEDULE from within my CF app to schedule
a couple of templates, but they're not being executed. If I look under the
CF Administrator, they're placed there with all parameters exactly as I
specified, but they don't run.
