Well where I use to work, they had almost every application on
a port other than 80 unless it was public. Thus the POC wanted
all scheduled tasks for all applications to be on the odd port.
Which at the time we did not know that was not going to work.
Also with an Allaire rep that came to visit and look at it, he
was unaware of that as well. But we found out.
Thus the Port issue was just an idea to make sure they were not
doing in order to determine the problem of Scheduler.

Are you sure this is the case, this seems very, very strange.
I don't think I've ever needed to schedule a http request on Windows that
connected to a port other than 80, but I have on linux without any
difficulty.
The problems I have experienced with CF scheduling are generally with the
CFSCHEDULE tag, not ColdFusion scheduling in general. Scheduled tasks added
using the administrator run fine while tasks added/updated using the tag
simply don't run (though you can run scheduled tasks using CFSCHEDULE).
Behaviour is not consistent, or I haven't done enough testing to determine
a definite pattern, though if I recall correctly, restarting the server did
result in the scheduled tasks set using CFSCHEUDLE running fine. I can't
remember whether restarting the CF Executive or CF App Server services had
the same result. To be honest I don't have time to beta test allaire's
software. There have been complaints about CFSCHEDULE since v3, and it
still doesn't work reliably, so I just don't use it.
