The mysteries of the CF scheduler are many. The developers I know have never been
able to get it working properly, always the same problem, it shows up in the list but
won't
execute. I remember looking on Forums to find an answer and there seem to be two
types of people:
1) people who can't get it working
2) people for whom it works like a charm, and can't imagine it not working
I've never found an answer or a root cause. We just decided to use NT's "AT" command
to schedule things. Check out Allaire Forums, there should be plenty of questions in
the archive
like yours.
