I have a scheduled task which should run every minute. To block the file from being called from outside, I want to compare host and calling IP adress like so:

 <cfif NOT structKeyExists( "variables", caller )>
    <cfset variables.caller = createObject("java", "java.net.InetAddress")>
 </cfif>

 <cfif variables.caller.getLocalHost().getHostAddress() EQ cgi.remote_addr> 
     // run task
 </cfif>

Question:
I’m not really used to working with objects in Coldfusion, so would this be a way to make sure the object is created once and re-created every minute when the task is being called? Since this is running in my admin section, should I create the object on application scope right away?

Thanks for some input!

    When you run a request even if the request is a scheduled task, all the variables are destroyed when the request has been completed. Only variables like session, application, and server persist between requests.

    One approach to making sure that pages only run on the machine that they are on is to:

    <cfif cgi.remote_addr EQ "127.0.0.1"> 
 // run task
</cfif>
