timing a script execution

[cicovec-at-hotmail]

Can someone plase help me?
I've got a database of links. And I need to regularly check, whether these
links are valid or no. In addition, I need to check, whether these linked pages
contain a certain string. (A link back.)
Does anyone have a suggestion? How to schedule a task to regularly execute a
script, handling these functions?

Many thanx.

I'm using COLDFUSION MX 7 on Apache and/or IIS, MySQL 4.0.20a, MySQL 3.51 ODBC
Driver, Win32 platform

You can use the ColdFusion scheduler to make the link checker run at set
intervals. As far as checking the links, you probably want to do CFHTTP
METHOD="get" (check the docs at
[url]http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/5.0/CFML_Reference/Tags47.htm#1632966[/url]

If the link is bad, CFHTTP.FileContent will contain "Connection Failure" or
some such. Otherwise, CFHTTP.FileContent will contain the page. Then you can
search the page for the particular string you are looking for.
