After getting a few months of support from Allaire, we've been running a weekly-scheduled series of scripts successfully for about a year now. We are CF 5 on Solaris. The trick was to always schedule a task so that the start date was actually a week prior to when you wanted the task to begin. So, if I wanted something to run every Wednesday starting tomorrow, I would enter the task with a start date of last week. I'm not sure if this works for daily or monthly events, but it is the official solution that we received from the Allaire engineers.

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?
