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:
To run the script, you call the system via the following URL:
#systemURL#/seller/sellerDailyStatus.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.
