I know that Macromedia has a "known issue" logged regarding the fact that 
cfexecute in MX will not return control to the calling page once output is 
recieved from the calling program, but will instead wait until the timeout 
specified has expired. Does anyone know of any issue with cfexecute's 
ability to generate output files using the "outputfile" attribute?  I am 
attempting to use the cfloop work around to insure that a process has 
finished executing but I am not getting any outputfile created. I have set 
the permissions appropriately so the  user account  that cf runs under owns 
the directory it is attempting to write too but I recieve no output at all. 
I am running a custom shell script that I wrote that does generate output 
but I do not get a file created at all. The script executes just fine when 
I set the timeout value to a high value(120+).

I am using the following code:

<cfexecute name="/rootpath/test-screen"
                  arguments="/rootpath/rawps/#cffile.serverfile# 
/rootpath/pdf/lowres/#pdfName#"
                  timeout="120"
                  outputfile="/var/www.adserv.wedaconnect.com/log/lowres.log">
</cfexecute>


<cfset done = "false">
<cfloop condition = "done is 'false'">
        <cfif FileExists("/rootpath/log/lowres.log")>
                <cffile action="READ" file="#outputfile#" variable="filetext">
                <cfif filetext contains "finished">
                        <cfset done = "true">
                </cfif>
        </cfif>
</cfloop>

Any ideas (other then downgrading to CF5, as that is not an option)? I am 
running CFMX 6,0,0,55693, RH 7.2 with all the latest goodies.TIA!
