Yes, it was the scheduler refresh that was throwing me off. I was expecting
to see the scheduled event in the administrator quicker than it was
appearing. If I waited the 15 minutes, it showed up.
Is it possible to poll a scheduled task by it's name, and present the
results without having to view them in the adminstrator? I was hoping I
could make a web form which would allow a user to insert their task ID, and
edit the schedule manually. I suppose I could do it if I save the results
to a DB, just wishing for something simpler.

* Action="update" is correct. Action="run" will actually run
* a previously
* scheduled event (As in: "Do it now").
*
* When you say you "don't see it happening", what do you mean?
* Do you have
* access to the CF Administrator? If so, you'll see whether
* or not the event
* was successfully scheduled. As to whether or not the event
* actually _runs_
* when you expect, that's a different matter. Many people
* have had miserable
* luck getting the CF Scheduler to work properly, going back
* to at least CF
* 2.0.
*
* A couple of other issues: Registry access must be enabled
* on the server for
* CFSCHEDULE to be able to add and update scheduled events,
* since CF stores
* scheduled events in the registry. There's also a 'Scheduler Refresh
* Interval' that is set on the CF server that tells CF how
* often to look for
* newly scheduled tasks. A newly scheduled task will not run
* until CF sees
* it. You shouldn't count on the newly scheduled task to run
* until a period
* of at least that refresh interval has expired.
