Hi,
Need some advice. Know that we can schedule coldfusion page through CFSCHEDULE or via Admin.
Is it technically possible to design a scheduling application using ColdFusion (to run shell scripts)? If yes, how much effort are we looking at?

Thank you.
 
Check out the third question on this page:


Basically, all you would have to do is create a cfm page that has a cfexecute tag calling your script, then schedule that page via Admin to run whenever you want.

For more info on cfexecute, see livedocs

Hope This Helps!
