ColdFusion startup script?

[User_Since_V1_5]

I'm running CF8 Server under Windows. I have an application, MyApplication, in which, for a variety of reasons, I refresh some application-scope arrays on a schedule. To simplify just a bit, there is a ColdFusion script that runs each hour, and in the script I have

<lock MyApplication scope>

     generate array A1

     generate array A2

     ...

     generate array An

<unlock MyApplication scope>

This works just fine -- except that if I have to restart ColdFusion or reboot the server, the application throws errors until I can manually execute the script.

Is there a way of having ColdFusion execute this script upon startup? If so, would I have to make any changes to the script (for example, insert a server-level lock inside the application-level lock, and/or address all the variables as MyApplication.application.A1, MyApplication.application.A2, etc)?

If not, is there another way of achieving the goal? For example, could I do something like this in application.cfm:

<test for existence of A1 or A2 or ... or An>

     <if at least one of them does not exist>

          <lock application scope>

               <lock server scope>

                    generate array A1

                    generate array A2

                    ...

                     generate array An

               <unlock server scope>

          <unlock application scope>

     <end if>

<end test>

Thanks for any help/insight.

Write your function in a either a separate .cfm or .cfc file.  Call this function in the onApplicationStart function of your Application.cfc file.  Also call it in the script that runs every hour.
