I personally would not have DST switched on for a server, and have it disabled.
But I guess the only other solution would be to have the script run before the DTS changes, don't know how the computers do it but the DTS should change at a given time so you might want to make sure the task is run after that or before that time. -----Original Message----- From: Terry Ford [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, March 11, 2010 8:33 PM To: cf-talk Subject: Daylight Savings & Scheduled Tasks I have had the following problem the last couple of time changes, and would like to know if there is a simple solution to fix it: I have a number of tasks that I need to run just after midnight, local time (CT), whether it's standard CST or daylight CDT. 12:01 AM. I use CF scheduler with settings "run daily at 12:01 AM". However, whenever we hit a daylight savings and switch between CST and CDT, ColdFusion tries to be smart and adjusts that starting time by 1 hour, which means that the tasks start running at 11:01 PM CT. What I'd like to say is "run daily at 12:01 AM CT", so that it runs at 12:01 regardless of whether we're in daylight savings or not. Is there a way to do this in scheduler? The work around is to wait for daylight savings to occur and then go in and resubmit all of those tasks to again run at "12:01 AM". It then starts working correctly until the next time change. This, however, is a very annoying solution. Thanks ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
