Archie - - For Automation or check scripts - CF Scheduler configured through CF Administrator could be leveraged.
- For FTP and processing based on Folder/file Size - CFFTP and CFDIRECTORY/CFFILE could be a help. Example Usage: CFDIRECTORY <cfdirectory directory="#GetDirectoryFromPath(GetTemplatePath())#" name="myDirectory" sort="name ASC, size DESC"> - Response Time Issues or threads hanging could be a problem but it depends how much data(folder/files) does the code has to scan or look in database before it does anything and what is the frequency ( 5 mins. - Can this be increased to say 30 mins??) in which you would like to execute this job.. Thanks. -Sandy Vohra -----Original Message----- From: Archie Campbell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, December 03, 2006 12:32 PM To: CF-Newbie Subject: Automatic processing in a shared system environment I am building a site that accepts data in from ftp sites and email accounts. Also, when data gets to a certain status level, it sends data out to an ftp site or attached to emails. I am building a .cfm page that: 1. Checks certain folders for new arrivals 2. Checks email accounts for new arrivals 3. Checks the database for items with status of "Ok to send" set to Y When it finds something to do, it does it. We plan to run this page manually until we are happy with it. At which point we would like to have it have it run AUTOMATICALLY. Maybe it wakes up every 5 minutes and looks for something to do. I want to do it in a manner that does NOT cause response time problems for others on the shared server. Any thoughts as to how I could best do this?
