[cfaussie] Re: growing cfclasses directory

Generally it seems that CF tends to keep classes memory resident - you can check this out by deleting all the .class files, running a page - watch the files get created in the class directory, and then delete them again, and run the page again.  I've found they often don't get created again.

But deleting them shouldn't be an issue - if CF can't find the class file, it will just recreate it.

If you really want to clean up, stop the server, delete all the files, and then start it again - do note however, that will mean that the neccessary files will get recreated when they get first hit, so it can cause some initial load time for the first users.

Wouldn't that be dangerous, if someone was browsing the site at that time.

Extending the idea, write a batch file to delete all files older than a
date, ie hadn't changed in a month.
