Timeout error when executing the command run.cmd using cfexecute tag in ColdFusion programmatically
Here is our ColdFusion code for executing run.cmd programmatically:
<cfexecute timeout=1000
name = "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.e
arguments = "C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\
outputFile = "C:\Temp\output.txt" >
</cfexecute>
Error Message:
The requested action did not complete in a timely manner. Timeout period expired without completion of C:\Windows\System32\cmd.ex
When trying directly from command line, I still get the errors.
So in the command line, I entered up to the last folder cd C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\1
So, how do I do the same in Coldfusion program ?

I don't know a lot about this, but just throwing out an idea, just in case... CFEXECUTE likely runs under the same user as the Coldfusion application. Does that user have access to the commands you are executing? That user may very well be different from the user you are logged in as when you are testing it on the server. If this is windows, check the services list for Coldfusion Application and see what user it is running under.
Edit: Fixed backslashes
Since you're using cmd.exe, try adding a "/C" to the beginning of arguments. The "/C" tells cmd.exe to exit when finished running the command.
Change this line:

Change this line:
arguments = "C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\12\""FineReader Engine""\Samples\Java\Hello\run.cmd"To this:
arguments = '/C "C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\12\FineReader Engine\Samples\Java\Hello\run.cmd" 'The "/C" tells cmd.exe to exit when finished running the command.
Otherwise, cmd.exe keeps running and never returns. That's why you're getting a timeout ...

One other thing. It's possible the command MUST be executed from a specific directory. Try wrapping the whole path in quotes (not in the middle), and run it from the command line:
c:\users\your_username > "C:\ProgramData\ABBYY\SDK\
If that doesn't work, then yes - you'll have to use a BAT file - as mentioned on your other thread.
