CFSchedule help

[Sherylj]

How does CFSchedule work and what do I need to do other than define the schedule in the CF Administrator?&nbsp;&nbsp;I've done that and it's It's not doing anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>There isn't a schedule.log in the Logs directory either.&nbsp;&nbsp;Do I have to manually create it or invoke something to start a schedule log creation?<br>Thanks.<br>Sherylj

One way to see if your scheduled task is working is to set your task to publish the results. Put a line such as &lt;cfoutput&gt;#dateformat(now())#&lt;/cfoutput&gt; in your template.&nbsp;&nbsp;This way, you can look at the outputted html file and see for yourself if the task executed.....

Thanks I figured it out finally yesterday.&nbsp;&nbsp;It wasn't refreshing so it wasn't checking for new scheduled events.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I add a scheduled task and then click the Scheduler Refresh apply button it works.&nbsp;&nbsp;If I don't refresh it it doesn't do anything.&nbsp;&nbsp;No output, no publishing, nothing!&nbsp;&nbsp;It never runs!&nbsp;&nbsp;I never found any instructions on doing this I just tried it and it worked.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Do you know if CF 4.5 has https functionality with CFSchedule?&nbsp;&nbsp;We realized yesterday we couldn't do what we wanted anyway because the event I was trying to schedule will eventually be on a secure server and we can't do that!&nbsp;&nbsp;We are currently running CF 4.0.1 but I have the upgrade in a box sitting in my office for when I &quot;have time&quot;.&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever that is!&nbsp;&nbsp;If it has https functionality then it would move up the priority ladder!&nbsp;&nbsp;Thanks for the help.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<br><br>Sherylj
