Sorry, my reference to the scheduler was a misnomer as it calls scripts via the web server. However batching jobs as per duncan's suggestion is a viable option.
Calling the CFML stub can be done via a batch file. Either set an environment variable SCRIPT_NAME to be the path to the script you want to call OR simply pass it as a parameter to CFML.exe: CFML.exe myMailerScript.cfm If you need to pass in any URL vars then set the QUERY_STRING environment variable to whatever you need to before calling the stub. Or something ;-) Steve > -----Original Message----- > From: Sandeep Shetty [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 26 June 2003 14:41 > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Mailing Lists question > > > does schedule mean we need to send emails in batches as > Duncan suggested > earlier? > Please could you tell me how to call the cfmail script using > cfml stub? do > i need to use cfexecute? > > -----Original Message----- > From: Steve Martin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: 26 June 2003 14:32 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: RE: [ cf-dev ] Mailing Lists question > > > Are you invoking the email generation script via a browser? > If so then you > should try it either via a schedule or by calling the script > directly using > the CFML stub, this will prevent DLLHOST.exe from sitting > there taking up > cycles.
