We use a series of XCOPYs from a bat file. Inside the bat file, there are a number of REM statements that get written to an output file, and the XCOPY writes any error to a logfile. (using the > and >> DOS redirect commands)
Cold fusion reads these logfiles as they are created, and updates a webpage with the progress of the batfile.

Is there a good replacement? Our CFMX application needs to do a lot of file manipulation (moving files to production, archive, etc). I've used the cfdirectory and cffile tags for a while to do these operations, but as we grow, those tags just don't scale terribly well. I've run a few tests where I invoked XCOPY from within a cf page, and the file operations were just blindingly fast. However, there are two apparent problems with XCOPY: 1) sometimes, for unexplained reasons, XCOPY doesn't actually copy everything I ask it to; 2) I don't see an easy way to get an "I'm done" response back from XCOPY, so I can tell my CFMX application to continue on to the next task. Of course, it's possible that I'm missing some basic information that would make either cffile faster or would make my XCOPY problems go away, but assuming I have all my ducks in a row, I'm wondering what other solutions are available to me? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
