It needs to send an email out daily. I want it to start now and then each day
send out another. I had it set to 60 seconds to test it as I didn't want to
wait a day to find that I did it wrong and it failed. I've changed that to 120
seconds and it didn't work. I don't understand why there would be a problem
with starting now() though. However, I changed the start_time to this:
<cfset start_date = createDate(year(now()),month(now()),day(now()))>
<cfset start_time = createTime(hour(now()),minute(now())+10,second(now()))>
<cfschedule
action="update"
task="facilities_daily_notification"
interval="120"
operation="httprequest"
startdate="#start_date#"
starttime="#start_time#"
url="http://sph.umd.edu/home/facilities_request/email/daily_notifcation.cfm";

It doesn't seem to have worked. Is there a problem with the code? I've asked
and cfschedule is enabled.
