<cfset outfile=GETTEMPFILE("C:\temp\","MH")>
<cfexecute name="command" arguments="arguments" outputfile="#outfile#"
timeout="155"></cfexecute>
<cffile action="READ" variable="stdout" file="#outfile#"><Br>
<table border="1"
cellspacing="0"><tr><td><strong>Output:</strong></td></tr>
<tr><td><cfoutput><pre>#stdout#</pre></cfoutput></td></tr></table><Br>
This all looks ok. I was getting errors that the file was still locked.
Thanks,
Neil
