The original question is just an example of the many questions raised in
migrating CF, an application server so rooted in NT, to a UNIX
environment. Regardless of whether it's a good idea or not, there must
be very cut and dried (read 'predictable') behaviors in situations like
this, and they should be documented. This is especially true since
developers will be attempting to make CF apps portable to all supported
environments.
