To remove a scheduled job the hard way, edit neo-cron.xml directly.
It's can be found (in the J2EE deployment of Cold Fusion) in \cfusion-ear\cfusion-war\WEB-INF\cfusion\lib

The scheduler.log file provdes information about scheduled tasks. See:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/6.1/htmldocs/basico28.htm
for a list of log files.

I want to know if cfschedule throws any errors if it can't initiate the task. I see no documentation about return values, or errors thrown. Is there a way to determine the fate of the scheduled task? tia.

What I want to know is can you pass a URL variable in the URL parameter in order to pass it to the launching page when Scheduler launches. Such as:

</cfquery>
<CFSCHEDULE
ACTION="UPDATE"
TASK="Schedule Emails to #FORM.key#"
OPERATION="HTTPRequest"
URL="/tasks/scheduler.cfm?key=#key#"
STARTDATE="#billdate#"
STARTTIME="4:30:00 AM"
INTERVAL="Monthly"

Somehow a task got scheduled with a name that has some strange characters at the end, possibly a carriage return. I cannot delete it in the Administrator ofr cfschedule. How can I manually delete it?

Thanks

I agree with MikerRoo , one needs a trailing slash (at least on Windows) in path attribute.

Also my opinion is that cfschedule and scheduling engine in general is not described in enough detail. For example, can one use relative path in path attribute? If so relative to what? What happens to a currently running (or recurring but not currently running) task when one updates it with new parameters? i.e. when do the changes kick in> Does "once" type task run immediately and then disappears from Taks list in Administrator or does it linger on? etc. etc..

Will "action=delete" kill a currently executing task ?
If not, is it possible to do so ?

LiveDocs Comments - coldfusion - 6.1 - htmldocs - tags-a30.htm
Path seems to need a trailing slash to always work correctly.
That is:
When path = "c:\logs" and File = "#variableFileName#", the output file will sometimes be "C:\logs\FilenameA" and sometimes be "C:\logsFilenameB".

"scheuled" seems to be misspelled a few times in the docs.

LiveDocs Comments - coldfusion - 6.1 - htmldocs - tags-a30.htm
<interval> does not specify a maximum number of seconds. For example, would it support a value of 1209600 to accomplish an interval of 2 weeks?

How can I make the FILE value dynamic with the today's date, like 070104.html, 070204.html, 070304.html, ...

Thanks

user "hh:mm Am"or "hh:mm Pm" format for the StartTime

LiveDocs Comments - coldfusion - 6.1 - htmldocs - tags-a30.htm
I don't understand the correct value for option StartDate and StartTime.

For the StartDate i suppose i have to use the format: mm/dd/yyyy
For the StartTime can anyone confirm to use the format: hh:mmtt ?

Please help me on this configuration because my scheduling don't work well.

Thanks,
