I inherited a coldfusion MX7 application that has a long running process, which the user kicked by accident.
By my calculations, at the current rate, the job will run for 3 days.
There doesnt seem to be a way through the administrator interface to stop a job that is running.
The table that is being filled can be easily repopulated, so I would think stopping the coldfusion service wont effect anything except the table, which isnt a problem.
Am I right? Is that safe? Is there another way?
a one-time restart of the service should be fine. for the future, you may want to add a required url param or other such safety mechanism to keep this long process from accidentally going off.
