CFEXECUTE .cfm file with url parameter

[ketankshah]

I want to use CFEXECUTE to run a .cfm file with url parameters.

example:
<CFEXECUTE NAME=&quot;C:\CFUSION\BIN\CFML.EXE&quot; ARGUMENTS=&quot;C:/Inetpub/

http://wwwroot/Extra/publish.cfm?id=1&quot;

outputfile=&quot;C:/Inetpub/

http://wwwroot/Extra/result.txt&quot;>

It is not executing the file and if I see the outputfile, it is showing an error 'Object not found'. The same thing works if I remove the url parameter ?id=1 from the arguments.

How can I pass such parameters in CFEXECUTE?

Can you explain why? I can't think of any reason for using CFEXECUTE to run a cm file. - tleish

The file I want to run through CFEXECUTE is a long process basically sending emails to thousands of subscribers. I want to run this file and on the screen I want to display 'Please wait' message showing % of emails sent. On completion of this process, it will display confirmation message. On using CFEXECUTE, I want to run the file on a separate thread and return the control back to show a 'please wait' page.
