Hey Guys, There is a Pause Function within ColdFusion you can use to pause the ColdFusion process then loop over that each time until a file is created or what ever you want to do.

I was thinking an event could be raised when the batch file was done running? Or something could poll to check if the batch file had run?

[cfaussie] Pausing CFML (Was RE: [cfaussie] Re: CFEXECUTE .bat files)
I realize Jeremy ultimately solved his problem, but for what it's worth, I'll note that you can indeed cause CF to pause. It's new as of CFMX, leveraging its underlying reliance on java. It doesn't cause a CPU loop or other wasteful processing, but instead literally puts the thread to sleep for x milliseconds. The following will pause for 2 seconds: cfscript createobject(java,java.lang.Thread).sleep(2000); /cfscript I wrote a blog on it with more detail, including a function to do it accepting the time passed in, in 2002: http://cfmxplus.blogspot.com/2002/10/pausing-your-cfmx-code.html I'll point out as well that after I joined New Atlanta, I got us to add a CFPAUSE tag (CFPAUSE Interval=x).

[cfaussie] Re: CFEXECUTE .bat files
Because we are changing contents of files for each environment i.e. Production, Train, Test. Therefore we need to loop over it each time. I have found other thing which I find odd. In our development environment when I use cfexecute it seems to be trying to execute it from the following path. C:\JRun4\binxcopy c:\2_3 c:\2_4 /e /i /y When in my code I tell it to run from the cmd...what the? --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.

[cfaussie] Re: CFEXECUTE .bat files
It does wait for the call to finish, so if it's not waiting, then your batch file is returning instantly. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups cfaussie group.
