Re: Running Command line stuff...
Not sure what version of CF you're using, but have a look at the cfexecute tag. It can do what you need.

Re: Querying a comma separated list
I'm pretty certain you can't do what you're trying to do directly. The comma delimited list you have stored in gtype is just a string as far as the DB engine is concerned and cannot be searched as a list. If you must store it this way, I have achieved the result I think you want, in the past, with the following somewhat ugly query: cfquery name=getslides datasource=#dsn# select* from pgallery wheregtype LIKE '1' OR gtype LIKE '1,%' OR gtype LIKE '%,1' OR gtype LIKE '%,1,%' /cfquery Basically this manually searches the string for the four possible positions for your target element in a comma delimited list: 1. Element is the only thing in the list 2. Element begins the list 3. Element ends the list 4. Element is in the list between two other elements Hope that helps. Also I'm basing this on my experience with MS-SQL so apologies if MS-ACCESS actually does provide a way to do this natively.

Re: too many scheduled tasks in the CF-backend
Yep. With a combination of cfschedule and a Java serviceFactory. You can retrieve a list of all scheduled tasks using the Java object then loop over it to delete based on whatever condition you like. You get back an array of structs where the name of each task is contained in the key Task. I'm basing this mostly on this link: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2320396/how-to-get-list-of-scheduled-tasks-and-last-run-results-in-coldfusion This example would delete everything: cfset factory = createObject(java, coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory) cfset allTasks = factory.CronService.listAll()/ cfloop index=i from=1 to=#ArrayLen(allTasks)# cfschedule action=delete task=#allTasks[i].task# /cfloop On 23 December 2013 09:49, Uwe Degenhardt cf-t...@sdsolutions.de wrote: Hi list !

Re: Hack - Further Information
Great explanation Dave. Good to know. On 5 February 2013 11:21, Dave Watts dwa...@figleaf.com wrote: OK, now that you've done that: CF serves all sorts of pages that don't exist. You may read up in this very thread about CFCHART, which relies on a URL pattern that doesn't exist. CF relies on servlet mappings, which may or may not correspond with actual URLs. Typically, they do, but there are some specific URL mappings that are created by default when you install CF, and one of them is /CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm. Another is /CFIDE/Main/ide.cfm - this is another file that doesn't even exist by default. I understand that under special circumstances like CFChart it serves pages that don't exist. But in the scenario I outlined where CFIDE mappings have been re-pointed to a folder that does not carry the administrator folders and the web server provides a Virtual directory to the very same duplicated CFIDE folder, I fail to see how it would ever serve the content from the administrator and adminapi folders... In a nutshell: - client requests /CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm - request is immediately passed to CF by the web server - this happens before the web server tests for the existence of a file at that URL - CF looks at its list of servlet mappings, and finds one for /CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm - CF looks on the filesystem for where it expects to find this file, based on where these files were placed during the initial install - if the file is there, it's executed So, let's say you install CF without hooking it up to a web server, then later hook it up to IIS. In that case, CF will initially use the built-in web server, and create the file c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\CFIDE\Administrator\index.cfm. When you hook up the web server, the web root might be c:\inetpub\wwwroot, and you may have created your own CFIDE directory there without the Administrator subdirectory, so that the directory c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE exists but the file c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\Administrator\index.cfm does not. Nevertheless, CF will execute the file c:\coldfusion9\wwwroot\CFIDE\Administrator\index.cfm when you ask it for http://your_IIS_web_server/CFIDE/Administrator/index.cfm even though a request for http://your_IIS_web_server/CFIDE/Administrator/ returns a 404 - the second URL doesn't match an explicit servlet mapping. Alternatively, let's say you install CF and hook it up to your default IIS server. In that case, CF will create the file c:\inetpub\wwwroot\CFIDE\Administrator\index.cfm. Then, you might create a new IIS virtual server, and set its web root to c:\inetpub\otherserver\. You'd still have the same problem, as CF would still be able to resolve to the original location of the file.

Re: Difficulty in creating a dynamic query
Ditto Steve's question. You're trying to use cfqueryparam outside of a cfquery block. Coldfusion is just going to see #sqlStatement# as a block of literal text, so it will pass WHERE firstName LIKE cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=%bar% / into the DB exactly as written. And SQL will complain of course. You can successfully build dynamic queries if you do it within the cfquery block, like: cfquery SELECT otherID FROM thirdTable WHERE firstName LIKE cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=%bar% / cfif someCondition OR lastName LIKE cfqueryparam cfsqltype=cf_sql_varchar value=%bar% / /cfif /cfquery -- Bill.

Re: Where is information used by the Scheduler?
By any chance is your JVM running in a different locale than your system local? I ask because I had a similar issue. My system runs in Australia, but I happened to be in Canada (with my system temporarily set to american standards) when I installed a new version of Java. The install picked up the north american settings and as a result I kept getting weird invalid date issues when I got back to Aus. Took a while to figure out that's what was happening. I eventually fixed the problem by forcing a locale fro the JVM in the ColdFusion Administrator by adding the following JVM arguments: -Duser.language=en -Duser.country=AU. Hope that helps.
