Rafael General comment on my experience with <cfschedule> - I had very little success with <cfschedule> in CF 4.5/5 - mostly the events just never ran let alone ran consistently. Running the scheduled event (template) directly from the CF Admin or directly accessing the scheduled event/templates showed they were working perfectly.
One thing that was noted in the docs was that the CF scheduler only updates every 20 minutes (I think) and hence you would have to wait at least 20 minutes to see a scheduled event take effect. Even that was not the problem in my experience. The good news is that in CF MX <cfschedule> works as advertised. Also does not appear that you have to wait for any extended period of time to see task execute. regards Johan -------------------------------------------- Johan Steenkamp www.assetnow.com -------------------------------------------- ----- Original Message ----- From: "Rafael Bleiweiss" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, August 20, 2003 9:40 PM Subject: question / scheduled tasks CF 5 specific > Having difficulty finding examples or better documentation on the CF 5 > Scheduler... > > I'm about to attempt to try for the first time to run a scheduled task once > an hour on my server - Win2K, IIS, and CF 5.
