The suggestion from Owen yesterday worked like a wet dream :-)
In case anyone's interested, the shell script I'm using is:
<!--- Script --->
#!/bin/bash
#
# 'Watcher' script for cron that restarts
# a service according to the presence of
# a special file.
#
WATCHFILE="/var/www/html/admin/_RESTARTCFMX_"
SERVICE="coldfusionmx"
if [ -r $WATCHFILE ]; then
logger -t 'coldfusionmx' -p local6.notice "Watched file detected,
ColdFusion MX service is restarting..."
/sbin/service $SERVICE restart
rm $WATCHFILE
Fi
<!--- /Script --->
best wishes,
-= Ed
