RE: Restart CFMX with CFML?
I was hopeful that someone had solved this for MX61, but instead I'm confused. I don't have an 'opt' directory (Windows 2000), and don't find any files named 'coldfusion.*' that you might be referring to. Is this solution for unix only? More particulars? FWIW, we had something for this purpose working in cf45, but it stopped working when we went from there to mx61. CF would stop, but not restart. The .bat file we used (with cfexecute) was this, except that we've since added the ' MX': - REM stop all CF services net stop "ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent" net stop "ColdFusion MX ODBC Server" net stop "ColdFusion MX Application Server" sleep 10 REM start all CF services net start "ColdFusion MX Application Server" net start "ColdFusion MX ODBC Server" net start "ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent" - If anyone has any idea how to do this, we'd love to know.

Hi Dave, Yeah, the CFEXECUTE command I suggested was for *nix. Brook has the necessary batch file for Windows.

RE: Restart CFMX with CFML?
I think that when ColdFusion executes a command or bat file via CFEXECUTE the external script stops when ColdFusion stops. When ColdFusion calls the bat file below it gets to the part where the jrun.exe process is killed, and then because the bat file process is child of the jrun process, the bat file process also dies. This would stop your server and then never get to the part where it restarts. That's what happens when I run the proposed bat file. Another solution is to use the Windows AT scheduler service to schedule a CFMX stop and a CFMX start in the shortest time in the future as possible, 1 min. ColdFusion can schedule the stop/start, but Windows will execute the commands even if CF is shutdown. See this for a cfm script that calls AT to restart the service: http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=alias&alias=RestartCFMX -Steven Erat > -Original Message- > From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 4:23 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Restart CFMX with CFML? > > === > @echo off > cls > REM == RESTART CFMX=== > net stop "Coldfusion MX Application Server" > c: > cd \CFUSIONMX\bin > call C:\CFUSIONMX\bin\cfstop.bat > c:\winnt\system32\kill -f jrun.exe > c:\winnt\system32\kill -f jrun.exe > sleep 2 > REM call C:\CFUSIONMX\bin\cfstart.bat > net start "ColdFusion MX Application Server" > REM === > Exit > > > > At 01:19 PM 1/31/2005, you wrote: > >I was hopeful that someone had solved this for MX61, but instead I'm > >confused.

RE: Restart CFMX with CFML?
Thanks Steven, we'll check this out. Your experience matches ours; it appears that the .bat stops when CF does, so the restart doesn't happen when done that straightforward way. Brook, are you sure this actually restarts CF? I just tried your .bat code verbatim here, and CF stops, but doesn't restart.

RE: Restart CFMX with CFML?
Oh shit sorry, I wasn't paying enough attention - we use this script via the scheduler to restart CFMX. You are right, it will not work from CFEXECUTE...

RE: Restart CFMX with CFML?
This isn't the correct use of the product but it's a possibility. I wrote, a long time ago, a utility to monitor CF servers and if an error occurred (Anyone remember Location Code 25 or 26 errors ?) it would take a certain course of action. Now, it's possible to customise the app so it will detect certain text in a web page. So, what you could do is if you want to restart your CF service remotely is run a template which then alters the output on a web page to say something like "Reboot me!" - it'd be something like http://myserver.com/spuriousurl.cfm - Server Medic will detect that in its next cycle (User defined timescale) and restart whichever services you want.. You could even have the message on the page to say "Restart SQL" which would restart SQL Server. Server Medic is Free and is a standalone app that doesn't rely on CF.
