If I do this: <cfexecute name="/bin/cp" arguments="-R -p #dirName1# #dirName2#/fred" outputfile="#outName#/cpOut"></cfexecute>
where 'fred' doesn't exist I get this in the output file: /bin/cp: cannot create directory `/ftp/ahb/ahb/bkm/fred': No such file or directory If it succeeds the file is empty Neither case is a "single integer." Documentation says this: outputFile - Optional. The file to which to direct the output of the program. If not specified, the output is displayed on the page from which it was called.

All the file will contain is a single integer. What's so hard about that? -Matt > -----Original Message----- > From: Shawn McKee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 4:22 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Directory copies on UNIX systems > > As I said. > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Shawn McKee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 3:44 PM > > > To: CF-Talk > > > Subject: RE: Directory copies on UNIX systems > > > > > > That will work but I kind of like getting some sort of success or > > failure > > > back without having to dump things to a log file that I then have to > > parse > > > through. > > > > > > Shawn > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Matt Liotta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 6:15 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: Directory copies on UNIX systems > > > You output what cp returns to a file and then read the file. > > -Matt > > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Shawn McKee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > > Sent: Thursday, June 20, 2002 3:57 PM > > To: CF-Talk > > Subject: RE: Directory copies on UNIX systems > > > > I know cp does but does cfexecute translate that back to the calling > > program.
