That's kind of strange - I haven't had any problems doing this. In fact, I
made a shortcut function to run batch files for me:
<cffunction name="executeBatchCommands" output="true" access="public"
returntype="void">
<cfargument name="batchCommands" type="string" required="true"
hint="Pipe-delimited or line-broken commands for a batch file to execute" />
<cfset var batchFile = expandPath(createUUID() & ".bat") />
<cfset var fileContents = listChangeDelims(arguments.batchCommands,
chr(13) & chr(10), "|") />
<!--- write the batch file to disk --->
<cffile action="WRITE" file="#batchFile#" output="#fileContents#"/>
<!--- trace for debugging --->
<cftrace text="Batch File: #fileContents#">
<!--- execute batch file --->
<cfexecute name="#batchFile#" timeout="999" />
<!--- remove the batch file --->
<cffile action="DELETE" file="#batchFile#"/>
</cffunction>
#executeBatchCommands("del *.php|del *.asp|del *.aspx")#
This is on a CF7 server, Windows 2003, is there something magical I don't
know about?
