AutoRun

[TommyMTL]

Hi,

I need to, from the server, autorun some kind of functions of cfm page every 30 seconds to update a database from XML files content. I can do it manually by accessing the page. but would like to no be involve on the process and let the server do it on it's own.

something like a refresh but on the server side with no user involve.

I tried with <cfexecute> with no success.

any idea?

many thanks

You can schedule jobs on the admin page. Don't know if the frequency can be less than a minute though.

There is also a cfschedule tag that might help.

Another way is to schedule the job to run once on the adminstrator page. Then have it refresh every 30 seconds.

To figure out the 30 seconds part, google "coldfusion sleep"
For refreshing google "meta refresh"
