Re: Stopping an endless loop
1) If you have access to the server itself, stop the CF server entirely. That should take care of it. 2) If it's happening on a browser page, change the code so there isn't a loop, save it, and refresh the page. I'm sure there are other options that might be cleaner, but those SHOULD take care of it quick-and-dirty-like.

RE: Stopping an endless loop
If you're using Windows, copy the text below into a file: restart_cf.bat Then run the file on your server. --- RESTART_CF.BAT --- REM stop all CF services and IIS net stop ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent net stop ColdFusion MX ODBC Server net stop ColdFusion MX Application Server net stop World Wide Web Publishing Service REM start all CF services and IIS net start World Wide Web Publishing Service net start ColdFusion MX Application Server net start ColdFusion MX ODBC Server net start ColdFusion MX ODBC Agent --- RESTART_CF.BAT --- That's the best way I've found without restarting the whole machine. If you don't have command-line access to run the batch file, you can use CFEXECUTE to run it remotely. I've written a CF page to run these things remotely in case I'm ever out and a server goes down or a service needs restarting. If you're interested I could zip up the whole thing including the batch files and email them to you. It's not pretty, but it works in a pinch.

Re: Stopping an endless loop
The way cfmail works is that it writes message to a spool directory. Restarting the service may stop the loop, but the outgoing messages that haven't been sent yet are still in the spool and will be send when CF restarts. Stop CF, find the spool directory, delete the files, then restart CF. At 12:07 PM 1/8/2003, you wrote: I accidentally created an endless cfloop (which includes a cfmail tag!!!). How do I stop it.

RE: Stopping an endless loop
Could it be that you have so many emails sitting in your outgoing spool folder that IIS hasn't had a chance to send them all out, regardless of the state of the CF Server, restarted or not? Once restarted, the loop should have been killed, but IIS doesn't care... if the emails are in the spool, they'll be sent. ~bgl -- -Original Message- -- From: Luis Lebron [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 10:16 AM -- To: CF-Talk -- Subject: RE: Stopping an endless loop -- -- I tried stopping the server, but everytime I restart it the mail starts -- again. -- -- -Original Message- -- From: Scott Brady [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- Sent: Wednesday, January 08, 2003 12:18 PM -- To: CF-Talk -- Subject: Re: Stopping an endless loop -- -- -- 1) If you have access to the server itself, stop the CF server entirely. -- That should take care of it. -- -- 2) If it's happening on a browser page, change the code so there isn't a -- loop, save it, and refresh the page. -- -- I'm sure there are other options that might be cleaner, but those SHOULD -- take care of it quick-and-dirty-like. -- -- Scott -- -- Scott Brady -- http://www.scottbrady.net/ -- -- -- -- ~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribeforumid=4 FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
