Daily Status Emails

We call it a daily status email, but you can run it however often you want, such as weekly, every other day, etc. The daily status email is designed to do the following:

• Email the status of bids on all open and recently closed lots
• Email the status of all open or recently closed lots that the user is watching
• Email the list of new items posted to the categories each user subscribes to

To run the script, you call the system via the following URL:

#systemURL#/program/dailyStatus.cfm?emazedaily

The ?emazedaily component is added to ensure that someone does not just call the URL directly and send the emails.

You should also probably add a RequestTimeOut variable to the URL. This will change the number of seconds until the script times out. The server will time out a script to prevent it from running forever. Set the timeout value to a time high enough to run thru the entire script. So the full URL would now be something like:

#secureSystemURL#/seller/chargeSeller.cfm?emazecharge&RequestTimeOut=500

This would let the script run for 500 seconds before it times out.
