Mike,
As you've already found out, that CFX tag doesn't work. If you want to use a native
Win service to do this you have to buy the resource kit.
I was able to find a routine called ExitsNT that did work, but its built in scheduler
stopped functioning after a time... plus it shows up in the system tray, regardless of
whether you tell it not to show up there. I found out the hard way that if you
weren't *very* careful while using that icon's right-click menu you could initiate a
complete shutdown -- not a restart. One slip of the mouse and you're on the phone to
your colo guys with a virtual Stoopid sign rightfully hanging around your neck.
I've had a lot more luck with a scheduled comprehensive services stop/start batch
file. Individually shutting off all web-related services (not just CF) and restarting
them has given me the ability to avoid full restarts for fairly long intervals (as
Windows servers go :D).
@echo on
net stop "firedaemon service: servu"
net stop "Mysql"
net stop "Cold Fusion Executive"
net stop "Cold Fusion Application Server"
net stop "Statistics Server"
net stop "Imail Web Service"
net stop "Imail POP3 Server"
net stop "Imail SMTP Server"
net stop "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
net stop "IIS Admin Service
echo .
net start "IIS Admin Service"
net start "World Wide Web Publishing Service"
net start "Statistics Server"
net start "Imail SMTP Server"
net start "Imail POP3 Server"
net start "Imail Web Service"
net start "Cold Fusion Application Server"
net start "Cold Fusion Executive"
net start "Mysql"
net start "firedaemon service: servu"
Good luck,

Thanks John!
I actually looke din the tag gallery, and had tried that tag about 2 weeks
ago..and knew it didn't work. :-)
Oh well, I always like the quote, "There are no dumb questions, just dumb
people for not asking questions"
Anyways... Thanks again.

Subject: RE: Reboot windows 2K server?
As long as we are being snippy...I doubt a tag from 98 is going to do the
trick.
<snip from docs>This tag was designed for Windows NT, using
InitiateSystemShutdownA from the Windows API. As far as I know, it will not
work under Windows 95. Not sure about Windows 98, but I doubt it. If anyone
finds out differently, let me know. </snip>
As far as searching the tag gallery first, cut him some slack. If all the
answers were in the tag gallery, the threads would be.
Post 1: Ask my question
Post 2: Go Look it up in the tag gallery
At least if you are going to make the statement along the lines that there
is a tag in the tag gallery, you should have searched there first, then you
should at least have looked further into the tag before making such a
blanket statement.

Not to be snippy, but please try searching the tag gallery before
posting questions like this.
Searching for 'reboot' in the Allaire tag gallery comes up with
CFX_RestartMachine as it's second result. Here's the direct link to the
tag:

Subject: OT: Auto-reboot a server
Is there a utility that I can run with NT scheduler that will restart an
NT server? I'm trying to track down some memory leaks, but if I can't
solve it before vacation time I want to just set up a way to restart the
server every few days at some time in the early am.
Thanks!
John
