New Daily task managment
Currently one of the systems I'm going to be responsible for does it's daily batch jobs by having a computer with XP installed use the built in schedule tool. These scheduled tasks runs IE to access web pages written in ColdFusion, the ColdFusion code does the daily tasks on the live web server.

To avoid time outs, the tasks are broken down into a dozen virtually identical pages that each process a chunk of the data at once. The chunk sizes are hardwired, so as the files to process increase in size, more pages have to be added every so often. And if the file size where to increase unexpectedly, part of the data would be left unprocessed without notice. Nor is there any notice if the batch jobs really worked or not.

And as would be expected in the situation, the pages are unsecured, anybody that can guess the page names could run the jobs whenever they wanted, totally horking the system.

Hopefully I'll get a chance to rewrite the entire thing before I have to roll this out to more users and companies. But I'm guessing I'll be rewriting the whole thing in little peices as I go.

Made it a batch processing system since it was the
only language he knew.

No matter how much Microsoft supporters whine about how Linux and other operating systems have just as many bugs as their operating systems do, the bottom line is that the serious, gut-wrenching problems happen on Windows, not on Linux, not on Mac OS. -- [link|http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1759,1622086,00.asp|source]

Every 3-4 episodes they would finally attack each other and some stupid aerial melee would begin with missed attacks inevitably shattering backdrops while direct hits only propelled the enemy into backdrops for shattering.
