pausing a script
Is there a way of pausing a script in CF MX 6? I want to send out 200 emails, wait 60 seconds before executing another cfmail batch of 200. I have got the following code after the cfmail tag both of which are nested in an index loop which has a value from 1 to 12. But the server hangs and has crashed once. Is there an elegant and efficient way to do this? ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Pausing a script
Are you speaking of a CFSCRIPT for pausing CFScript action or a PAUSE in between processign elements on a CF Page? There is a CF_Sleep or something similar in the Exchange >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 12/06/02 12:58PM >>> Does CF have an equivalent of the PHP sleep function. I need to pause s script for a few seconds.

RE: Pausing a script
There's no function, but you can do this easily by setting a time (or using GetTickCount()) and then doing a "While this time is less than whatever, keep looping" Should work fine.

RE: Pausing a script
That will work, but will also cause 100% cpu utilization for the duration of the pause, IIRC. -Original Message- From: Luis Lebron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 06, 2002 4:38 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Pausing a script I found this code in Ben Forta's book.

Instead you might consider setting up a task to do this - you can set the tasks programmatically so something like this like this can happen: Launch the process (either through a separate scheduled task or manually). Create (programmatically using ) a task that runs every minute which calls a mail sender page. The mail sender page: 1) Checks the working flag (described below) to see if it's free to run. If so it checks to see if there's any mail to send; if not it exits immediately. 2) If there's mail to send it sets a "working" flag to true someplace (in a database, in the application scope, etc) and sends 200 messages then sets the working flag to "false". If there's no more mail to send it deletes the scheduled task. In the case of any errors I would log the problem and set the working flag to "false". You can improve things of course but this prevents multiple threads from sending mail at the same time, implements your delay and only uses resources when running. Furthermore since each batch of 200 is running in a separate process one iteration can bomb for some reason and the others will still run meaning that most of your mail will get out regardless. I've used this kind of setup very successfully for delayed log-file batch processing.
