Are you sure this is the case, this seems very, very strange.
I don't think I've ever needed to schedule a http request on Windows that
connected to a port other than 80, but I have on linux without any difficulty.
The problems I have experienced with CF scheduling are generally with the
CFSCHEDULE tag, not ColdFusion scheduling in general. Scheduled tasks added
using the administrator run fine while tasks added/updated using the tag
simply don't run (though you can run scheduled tasks using CFSCHEDULE).
Behaviour is not consistent, or I haven't done enough testing to determine
a definite pattern, though if I recall correctly, restarting the server did
result in the scheduled tasks set using CFSCHEUDLE running fine. I can't
remember whether restarting the CF Executive or CF App Server services had
the same result. To be honest I don't have time to beta test allaire's
software. There have been complaints about CFSCHEDULE since v3, and it
still doesn't work reliably, so I just don't use it.
