Re: CF9 Paused Scheduled Tasks Still Running
I'm thinking that this is maybe NOT the way things should be. In my opinion, the Last Run column, as the name suggests (and what one would typically want to see, don't you think?) should always display the date/time of the most recent ACTUAL RUN, or execution, of the Scheduled Task, not the last date/time that CF figured it should have been run if it hadn't been paused. In comparison, when a Windows Scheduled Task is disabled, the date/time shown in the Last Run Time column never updates from the last date/time the task was actually executed (or from Never, if it had never been run). I think I'll use whatever formal communication methods are available to send in a soft complaint about this. It's just not right. I think the tasks are still polled to see if they need to run or not. That is probably what is updating the date. ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337970 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
RE: CF9 Paused Scheduled Tasks Still Running
I didn't say it was ideal (or even true), I just said that I believe that's probably what is happening ;-) Either way, you are probably in a very small group of people who actually care. I'd just assume CF shave any processing time that scheduled task logging might incur by not doing it. .:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

RE: CF9 Paused Scheduled Tasks Still Running
I'm not totally sure, but I do notice that when I restart my CF server, there is an entry for the scheduled task in the log stating that it is paused. Could it be that that date updates every time the CF Server tries to run (on its scheduled time) but doesn't actually run it. Or maybe instead of trying to run it, every time it checks the jobs to see if they are runnable it updates. Again, I have no idea, just some possible suggestions.

Yes, the second icon from the left in the Actions column of the Scheduled Tasks page in CF Admin shows as a green light document, with the title (tool tip) of Resume Scheduled Task for every task. These tasks are definitely PAUSED. Yet the Last Run is continually updating with a new date/time at every interval specified by the task settings. Now, I have most of these tasks set up to save output to a file, and those files are not being created, so that leads me to believe that these tasks are indeed NOT running, contrary to what the date/times in the Last Run column is telling me. Is this a known bug? ~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology-Michael-Dinowitz/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/message.cfm/messageid:337872 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-talk/unsubscribe.cfm
