Is it possible to run a command-line executable from within a coldfusion template?

look in the javascript (or html & css ? or web designer ?) forum - i know this question has been asked and answered recently, and as it's not a cf problem, the solution should apply to you as well
perform a search, use for example "run .exe " as keywords ...
 
Hey Marc,

In CF 4.5, there's now a <cfexecute> tag which allows you to execute applications and dos commands. Prior to 4.5, there were a few custom tags which allowed you to do this as well. This runs the application on the server and not the client's machine.

Good luck,
GJ
