Automatic billing? Automatic logging? To automate the storage/retrieval/manipulation of user data? It seems to me that "to automate certain application tasks" is so vague as to be pretty meaningless. >>> "An application that the server runs at specific times." >> CFSchedule? > > Yes. Do you run an auction web site entirely via cfschedule? =) No, but I run the billing for various subscription sites that way. I also am going to write log file and DB backup removal scripts that way. So... I use it quite a bit, really. >> --Ben "The Devil's Advocate" Doom > > Lawyer's suck :) IANAL.
