The problem I have had with CFSCHEDULE is successfully specifying the
URL.
The following method works for me (CF_TEMPLATE_PATH is a CGI variable
provided by the server, i.e.,
CF_TEMPLATE_PATH=D:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\cfide\administrator\index.cfm):
<cfset target_url = "#REReplace("#CF_TEMPLATE_PATH#", "/[^/]+\.cfm", "",
"ALL")#/find_expired_accounts.cfm">
<cftry>
<cfschedule
action="UPDATE"
task="Find Expired Accounts"
operation="HTTPRequest"
url="#target_url#"
startdate="1/1/1997"
starttime="4:00 AM"
interval="Daily"
resolveurl="No"
publish="No"
>
<cfcatch TYPE="Any"></cfcatch>
</cftry>
Hope this helps.

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.
