This should be pretty simple to achieve. One of the restrictions with threads is that a cfthread can not spawn another cfthread. So your going to need one scheduled task that runs at a suitable interval. It will need to see if theres a thread running and if not, kick off the first thread. The threads will need to report there current status somewhere the scheduled task can check - to a db or application scope. When the scheduled task next runs it checks if the previous task completed and then starts the next thread.
