Have a look in the log to see how it is being passed in the params. If you still can't work it out break into your code using ruby_debug and have a look at params to see what it consists off. I think you will find that schtime is inside schtask in the params hash. If you have not used ruby_debug have a look at the rails guide on debugging.
