oh -- btw; when running cfexecute in coldfusion on windows 95/98, the shell window will be visible on screen when executed (and remains after process is completed.) i built a little .dll to handle hiding it if anyone is running cf on a 95/98 machine (not that you should, but hey, it's a powerful and easy to use tool so i use it for all sorts of automation on my client pc's).

Figured it out. You MUST set a timeout attribute value if you want to see results output to the page. Makes sense. Without the timeout (or a timeout of '0') the process is spawned, but CF doesn't wait for it to complete.
