terminating cfthread

Hi when using cfthread, when it has finished doing its job and we no longer need it, do we have to write in our code to destroy / terminate it, or does it automatically do it itself. i have noticed that when some cfthreads are done, it seems to appear as if they are still running in the background thanks

Unless you need the results of the thread to use back in your original thread, you shouldn't have to do anything to kill it. > i have noticed that when some cfthreads are done, it seems to > appear as if they are still running in the background I'm not exactly sure how CF works with these threads, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're pooled just like CF's regular threads - a set number are created at startup, and none are created or destroyed at runtime. So, all of them should be "running in the background", but they should be doing very little until used.
