Ryan,
You can use:
<CFTRY>
<cfexecute name="/usr/bin/whois.pl" arguments="#domain#"
timeOut="1"></cfexecute>
<CFCATCH TYPE="COM.Allaire.ColdFusion.CFEXECUTE.Timeout">
Timed Out!
</CFCATCH>
</CFTRY>

Subject: What kind of exception thrown on cfexecute timeout?
> I am trying to use cfexecute to do a call to a local whois program.
> Some of the registrars take a long time to return the data, and I
> need to have my timeout set at 10 seconds. If it takes longer than
> this, my code throws an exception and an ugly coldfusion error message.

> So I thought I would wrap CFTRY around it (never used CFTRY before).

> <CFTRY>
> <cfexecute name="/usr/bin/whois.pl" arguments="#domain#"
timeOut="1"></cfexecute>
> <CFCATCH TYPE="Any">
> Timed Out!
> </CFCATCH>
> </CFTRY>
>
> (note I have timeout set to 1 so I can get it to timeout more often for
testing)
> But I never see my "Timed Out!" string. I never see the ugly CF error
message

exceptions
