no, the CFSCHEDULE task allows you to interface with the cfadmin.
from the docs:
"CFSCHEDULE provides a programmatic interface to the ColdFusion scheduling
engine. You can run a specified page at scheduled intervals with the option
to write out static HTML pages. This allows you to offer users access to
pages that publish data, such as reports, without forcing users to wait
while a database transaction is performed in order to populate the data on
the page."
best used for long running reports. the user would fill out some form, the
CFSCHEDULE tag would be used to...well, schedule the report, with the data
passed (perhaps) in the URL called.

Subject: Confused about CFSCHEDULE
I guess I'm not sure how this works, so I'll ask.
Does a scheduled task have to be set up in the administrator in order for it
to cycle?
What I'm trying to do is get input from a form, and set a scheduled event
from that input. It doesn't appear that I can do this using the cfschedule
tag, which apparently the page that has this tag on it needs to be open for
it to run?
*confused*
