I know you can use a combination of cfexecute and a batch file to restart
ColdFusion if you use the scheduler service.
On Windows you'd do that with something like this:
at 14:00 "cfrestart.bat"
cfrestart.bat would have the necessary commands to stop and start whatever
services you need.
As long as you don't need for the restart to happen inside the next minute
it works a treat.
