Often, you'll want to schedule a page to run at a regular interval for a fixed period of time. For example, to generate an employee list, it's not usually necessary to generate the list dynamically. Instead, you could schedule the page that generates the list to run every night during off peak hours.
By default, when you open the Add Scheduler Task page, ColdFusion enters the current date and time as the Start date and time for the new event. If you find that a scheduled event is not executing, check your start date and time values.
When entering an end date and time, if you leave the End Date and Time fields blank, ColdFusion runs the scheduled event until you explicitly stop the event by editing the task parameters, or by deleting the task in the Administrator.
You can choose from the following Intervals when scheduling a recurring ColdFusion event:
When scheduling a new event, you must set the execution time far enough in the future for ColdFusion to update its internal scheduled task list. By default, ColdFusion checks every 15 minutes for newly scheduled tasks. You can modify this interval using the Scheduler Settings page.
