I've never tried using cfml.exe directly --- you'll have to let me know h ow that works.
You could write your CF templates and use the CF Administrator to run scheduled tasks to carry them out, or run them using a browser directly. Or, getting even more baroque, use Perl to make a HTTP request to your CF templates on your server... Perl provides a fairly decent database interface using the DBI module --- what database features (as regards file handling) do you miss compared to ColdFusion? (I'm just curious... I'm not *trying* to start a huge Perl versus CF discussion... I tend to use both CF and Perl as needed... :-) Regards, Joel Parramore > -----Original Message----- > From: stas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Friday, December 28, 2001 11:36 AM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Running CF as command line tool > > > I am wondering what it takes to run CF to perform certain tasks > that are not > not web related... as one would use PERL.
