I've usually been able to get scheduled tasks to run ok, but they fail eventually, often without anything in the scheduler log, as if their execution was simply forgotten. From what I've heard, the scheduler is widely regarded as pretty unreliable.
I've had some success running templates from the NT, 2K or crontab (UNIX) schedulers. The only trick there is that you have to run them in Netscape so that you can include a script to close the window onload. I posted an earlier message inviting recommendations for better solutions - am now scrolling through to see if anyone responded... -J -----Original Message----- From: Bosky, Dave [mailto:Dave.Bosky@;htcinc.net] Sent: Tuesday, November 12, 2002 8:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: CF 5 Scheduler fails What's the deal with the scheduler function in cfadmin?
