If there was an error being thrown by your scheduled task, would you have any way of finding out? Do you get E-mailed with the error details? Not having access to the log files makes troubleshooting scheduled tasks more challenging. Often the error jumps right out at you by viewing the error log.
You can use TimeFormat() to get the time value to appear in a format that matches the examples found in the user manual. You should also pass the date value through DateFormat() -Mike Chabot On Fri, Mar 26, 2010 at 2:08 PM, daniel kessler <[email protected]> wrote: > >>Are you aware that you can schedule tasks using a nice GUI from inside >>of ColdFusion Administrator? > > It's a centralized server so I don't have access to the Administrator. > >>The problem might be related to setting the start time to now(), since >>the CF scheduler is checked for new jobs to process on an interval >>basis, not on a continual basis.
