Why use CF for this? I would have thought that a W2K scheduled task would work better.

I'm about to attempt to try for the first time to run a scheduled task once an hour on my server - Win2K, IIS, and CF 5. I want to schedule a task that automatically retrieves the latest Symantic virus definition files hourly instead of the minimum daily that the System Center console allows for directly. It's literally a one line code thing - a command prompt execution of the Live Update system configured to only get the definition files and exclude product updates. As the documentation is overly thin for someone unfamiliar with this sort of process, I have CLUE ZERO regarding how to execute a server based executable with command line variables through the scheduler, as the only "option is CFHTTP... So...... any help or pointing to more info is extremely appreciated... AND ALSO I've heard (even today on this list) that CF 5 doesn't handle Scheduled events too well - THOUGHTS? COMMENTS? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=t:4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm?link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm
