Here's how it's supposed to work:
Task Scheduling:
When cfexec.exe is started up, and again at intervals of [Scheduler Refresh Interval]
minutes, cfexec updates a list of scheduled tasks which is kept in memory.
--Only tasks with a Start Date less than or equal to the Current Date are put
into the in-memory list. This explains why some "Weekly" scheduled tasks do not run
the first week when they are scheduled shortly after midnight.
--The next-run-time for each task is calculated when it is placed into the
in-memory list.
--This in-memory list is scanned every 60 seconds to check for tasks which
should be run.
--During the scan performed every 60 seconds, each task in the in-memory list
is checked to see if its next-run-time is Greater Than the last scan time, and Less
Than or Equal To the current scan time. If so:
The next-run-time is re-calculated
for DAILY tasks - only Time is used in the calculations. For
other types, DateTime is used.
for INTERVAL (Daily every ....minutes ) - if the
next-run-time is Greater Than the End Time, the Start Time in the next day is set as
the next-run-time.
A new thread is created to execute the task (so cfexec doesn't have to
wait for the task to complete)

I would imagine it'd work the way you want it to if you just moved the end
time back 15 minutes... so 8am to 10:15pm the 10pm file will get written...
I have some vague recollection of somebody mentioning the scheduled task not
firing if it occurs right at the end time...
