scheduled task weirdness
Hi. We run ColdFusion 5 Enterprinse on Win2K. One of our developers has in the past scheduled a task with the following properties:- Start Date: 06/26/2002 End Date: (not set) Run:every 5 minutes From: 18:00:00 To: 18:55:00 There were no problem with this task until this morning. The scheduler.log indicates that the task ran at the desired interval ever since its start date. But last night at 0:00, ColdFusion started running this task every minute, which caused everyone here large amounts of headache since the scheduled task sends out mail to a bunch of users. I stopped and restarted the ColdFusion Executive Service, and now the recurring of the task every minute appears to have stopped. But as you can imagine, I fear what happens tomorrow. Since I am ultimately responsible for any systems, I can't have this sort of thing happening. Does anyone know of any bugs like these in the CF scheduler?

error in execution time calculations
Hi. I run CF5 on Win2k. I have enabled 'Show Total Processing Time', or exploded benchmarking, or whatever you want to call it. In customtags that use the execution time of the calling tag will be attributed to the custom tag itself rather than the calling tag. This makes the debugging output totally useless. To reproduce, create two templates, exit.cfm and test_exit.cfm (in the same directory). The file exit.cfm should contain just a single statement. The test_exit.cfm should be something that calls the exit.cfm as a custom tag and then does something that takes a long time. To be precise: exit.cfm: test_exit.cfm: (the cflock thingy will put coldfusion to sleep for one second) The debugging output shows: (edited to remove file locations) Execution Time 1016 milliseconds 0 ms ...\APPLICATION.CFM 1000 ms ...\EXIT.CFM 0 ms ...\TEST_EXIT.CFM 16 ms STARTUP, PARSING, & SHUTDOWN Note that CF has accredited the 1000 ms to exit.cfm and not test_exit.cfm! __ Structure your ColdFusion code with Fusebox.

AFAIK there is no way to flush either the query or the code cache. If you have CF5 you can turn trusted cache off, hit your page once, and then turn TC back on.

Re: Using CFLDAP w/MS Exchange 5.5
If you want to authenticate to your exchange server, use dc=your-domain, cn=your-username as login. That should work. If you want to do anonymous binds with exchange, you must turn on 'allow anonymous access' for the ldap protocol using the exchange administrator.

Does anyone have any really useful experience with the monitoring service? Apart from the allairemib 404 errors, I am having grave problems with the monitoring service interfering with the web services on my machine. For example, if I stop the Apache service, the monitoring service immediately restarts it! And there does not appear to be any way to turn off this behaviour, apart from not installing or disabling the monitoring service. Cheers Michiel __ Why Share?

The coldfusion built-in encryption functions are trivial to break, once you know the key.

cf monitoring service
Hi. Who has experience with the ColdFusion Monitoring Service on windows platforms? Specifically its interactions with the web servers. I have seen several situations now where this service severely messes up the IIS metabase, like virtual servers that disappear when IIS is restarted, etc. Cheers Michiel __ Get the mailserver that powers this list at http://www.coolfusion.com FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
