What version of ColdFusion are you using? I never made the switch to ColdFusion MX, so I am sure someone out there can correct for that version, but on Coldfusion 5, the easiest way to do it was to make a script that contained the following lines.
-------------------- #!/bin/bash export PATH_TRANSLATED=/Path/To/File export QUERY_STRING=queryParams # such as export QUERY_STRING=RequestTimeout=3600 to change the timeout $COLDFUSION_HOME/webserver/cgi/cfml ------------------- save that as a file (call it index.sh) and then type chmod +x index.sh Now test it by typing ./index.sh If it works, you can force it to run by editing crontab crontab -e you can add the following line to make it run at midnight. 0 0 * * * /path/to/index.sh man crontab will give you more information on other ways you can get crontab to execute the script. Hope this helps.
