If this question has been asked before, my apologies, I've been googling around and haven't really seen what I'm looking for.
What I'm thinking about is this. The app I'm working on has a pile of maintenance routines and other routine tasks that have to run pretty much on an ongoing basis. For example, I have a scheduled task that runs every 90 seconds to see if there are any pending messages. Others handle some other tasks. Currently, on the first page view my app starts and creates several persistent application scoped CFCs. In the OnApplicationStart method I call another cfc which initializes all the application level variables, etc. What I'm considering doing is wrapping my various maintenance routines up into one function that will be called with cfthread on application startup, and will just run all the time at a low priority, looping through, then starting over again. Consequently, there would never be a cfjoin statement, because this activity would be independent of whether anyone is actually looking at any pages. Any thoughts on what I should consider if doing this? Any gotchas? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Get involved in the latest ColdFusion discussions, product development sharing, and articles on the Adobe Labs wiki. http://labs/adobe.com/wiki/index.php/ColdFusion_8 Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:288017 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4
