Ok, This is from the wisdom of that which is Spike.
1. If you want to pass multiple arguments to cfexecute you need to pass them as an array. Each argument is a separate array element, and the arguments should be added to the array in the order that you want to user them. 2. If you want to debug your cfexecute call, the easiest way is to specify an outputfile attribute. Example: <cfset args = arrayNew(1)> <cfset args[1] = "username"> <cfset args[2] = ">>"> <cfset args[3] = "/path/to/file/space.log"> <cfexecute name="/path/to/file/user_web_usage.plx" arguments="#args#" timeout="5" outputfile="/path/to/file/foo.log" /> Spike.
