RE: Web Hosting Sites and CFSCHEDULE
You can use CFSchedule to hit other sites. Plus, you could DoS a box by scheduling a task that loops from 1 to 1 billion that runs every minute. -Original Message- From: Bruce Holm [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, May 06, 2002 4:34 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: Web Hosting Sites and CFSCHEDULE Is it common for web hosting sites to disable CFSCHEDULE or is my hosting company (ReadyHosting.com) just being paranoid by disabling it? You can only schedule what's on your site anyway, so it just allows automating a page access for convenience's sake what you can do manually anyway. Seems stupid to disable this tag. - Bruce Holm - Web Programmer Lattice Semiconductor Corp. [EMAIL PROTECTED] - __ This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.

Re: Web Hosting Sites and CFSCHEDULE
But couldn't you prevent that by asking that all scheduled events pass by the webmaster for the hosting site and have them actually create the event. Not sure if that can be done (schedule in the Admin page but not by CFSCHEDULE). If the admin were involved, they could disallow any events deemed harmful. But to outright deny any kind of scheduling seems paranoid to me. Any other hosting sites that allow scheduled events either by CFSCHEDULE and/or by request via the Admin page?
