I think that when ColdFusion executes a command or bat file via CFEXECUTE the external script stops when ColdFusion stops. When ColdFusion calls the bat file below it gets to the part where the jrun.exe process is killed, and then because the bat file process is child of the jrun process, the bat file process also dies. This would stop your server and then never get to the part where it restarts. That's what happens when I run the proposed bat file.
Another solution is to use the Windows AT scheduler service to schedule a CFMX stop and a CFMX start in the shortest time in the future as possible, 1 min. ColdFusion can schedule the stop/start, but Windows will execute the commands even if CF is shutdown. See this for a cfm script that calls AT to restart the service: http://www.talkingtree.com/blog/index.cfm?mode=alias&alias=RestartCFMX -Steven Erat > -----Original Message----- > From: Brook Davies [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Monday, January 31, 2005 4:23 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Restart CFMX with CFML? > > ======= > @echo off > cls > REM ========== RESTART CFMX =============== > net stop "Coldfusion MX Application Server" > c: > cd \CFUSIONMX\bin > call C:\CFUSIONMX\bin\cfstop.bat > c:\winnt\system32\kill -f jrun.exe > c:\winnt\system32\kill -f jrun.exe > sleep 2 > REM call C:\CFUSIONMX\bin\cfstart.bat > net start "ColdFusion MX Application Server" > REM =========================================================== > Exit > > > > At 01:19 PM 1/31/2005, you wrote: > >I was hopeful that someone had solved this for MX61, but instead I'm > >confused.
