hey eugene,

If you are using CF 4.5 then there is the <CFExecute> tag.

If you are using a lower version then there is either CFX_ShellExec or CFX_SpawnL custom tags (free) that will accomplish this task.

there may be others too

Hi everybody,

Is there a way of executing applications from ColdFusion (similar to system() function in C)?

Thanks,
Eugene.
