cfexecute and prompts
I am trying to run a program with cfexecute. The problem I am having is that the program has a prompt built into it. Every time I run it via cfexecute it gets to the prompt and just sits there waiting on an answer. Does cfexecute have any provisions for skipping over things like this? Is there any way at all to get past the prompt programmatically?

Re: [cfexecute and prompts]
Basicly what I am doing is having someone upload a zip file which I can then unzip using a command line program. cfexecute name="#Attributes.ExecutionPath#wzunzip.exe" arguments="-ybc #Attributes.DirectoryPath##File.ServerFile# #Attributes.DirectoryPath#"/cfexecute The first thing the command line program does upon being executed is ask a question and wait for a response. Since the execution can never be completed, it just sits in memory forever.
