OK, I'll continue to play dumb, since this use of "-f" on the "java -jar" command is entirely new to me. What is it in the properties.txt that you were passing, Mike? And is it then that, Dawn, which you're referring to? Are you aware of what he may be passing in? Or were you just referring to a generic issue of passing text files?
I did google some for this "-f", but came up empty. Even on the Oracle page on the jars: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/technotes/tools/windows/jar.html it's not clear what it would have to do with running the updates. That's all I'm really trying to understand, in case it may help others. Thanks to you both. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Dawn Hoagland Sent: Thursday, December 06, 2012 9:32 AM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 10 updates Offline Formatting problems when passing text files between Windows and 'nix have been around since anyone needed to pass text files between Windows and 'nix. Windows implements a different method of the linefeed character. Notepad should always be safe. But I've occasionally had problems there as well.....

Since you seem to indicate its use with Windows, what's it for? (I could google it, sure, but I'd like to hear your perspective, such as what led you to use it at all. I've never seen it mentioned, though of course I've seen mention of the command line java -jar approach.) As for the cookie thing, I've not heard anyone else talk about it yet, and since I've not had time to analyze it to really identify the nature of the problem (and whether anything in CF controls or influences it), I have not yet filed any bug report. /charlie -----Original Message----- From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Mike Staver Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2012 7:08 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] ColdFusion 10 updates Offline Thanks Charlie. I was able to download the jar files from the XML you pointed out, and then run the command line update. Since this is on Solaris and I don't have a GUI, I had to use the silent option like so: java -jar hotfix_005.jar -i silent -f properties.txt What tripped me up on that command is that if you create a properties file on Windows, and then transfer it over to the Solaris machine, it won't work. The Windows vs Unix end of line character will bite you. The update appeared to run fine, but when I'd log back into CF Admin, it would still show the old version. Running dos2unix or just editing the properties file in your editor of choice would correct the issue. I'm interested in hear more about the reason we have to clear cookies to get back into CF Admin. Hopefully they can correct that with a hot fix if they haven't already. ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com ------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dawn ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
