When you install CF, there's actually a batch file created for this, and
that's a good starting point. It's called cycle.bat, and it's in
c:\cfusion\bin. I think it was there in CF 3.x, but I'm not sure, so I've
put it here (I put the whole thing there because it talks about why it's
needed, as well as a little on using the system scheduler):
@ECHO OFF
REM ---------------- COLD FUSION SERVICE AUTOMATIC CYCLING ----------------
REM
REM This batch file schedules the Allaire Cold Fusion service to
REM be stopped and started once every 24 hours at approximately
REM 2:00 AM.
REM
REM The cycling of the service does not prevent any client
REM connections from being serviced. Once the service has been
REM stopped it will be automatically started as soon as a
REM client attempts to connect to it (or, if no clients attempt
REM to connect it will be started one minute after it is stopped).
REM
REM The reason for cycling the service is to prevent ODBC drivers
REM which have memory leaks from negatively affecting system
REM performance. While not all drivers have leaks, many of the more
REM widely used drivers do. For example, the leaks which exist in
REM the Microsoft Access and SQL Server drivers are documented in
REM the follwing knowledge base articles:
REM
REM Q119150 - BUG: Memory Leak with ODBC Driver Manager During Connection
REM Q132493 - PRB: Memory Leaks with Desktop Database Drivers
REM Q119099 - BUG: Memory Leak with Desktop Database Drivers with USE
REM Q132494 - Memory Leaks in SQL Server Driver During Connect/Disconnect
REM
REM If you wish to browse all of the scheduled jobs on your system
REM you can use the 'at' command (with no arguments) from the NT
REM command console. You may also browse scheduled jobs graphically
REM using the 'Scheduler' application which comes with the NT
REM Resource Kit.
