It's simple to schedule a page (a cfm file). Here is what u need to do:
1. Open the ColdFusion Server Adminstrator page from where u installed ur ColdFusion Server
2. Enter ur passw if any
3. Look at the column on ur left, click on "Scheduled Tasks"
4. Enter the name of the task that u want to call, then click on "Add New Task"
5. From there just enter in the boxes (filename with path, url, output, and how u want to schedule (monthly, daily, ...))
Once you done with that page. U're set.
But what if you're not on your own server? Is there a way to do this without using CF Administrator? I know there are a couple of ISPs that allow access these type things - for twice the going price of server space. How hard is it to get an ISP to set this up for you? Or can you do it yourself somehow? [sig][/sig]
U can use CFSchedule tag to do that.
*Note that u need to have a Publish page. If u don't, it won't work.
Syntax for Cfschedule is on the web. It's kinda easy to follow.
Try this link if u don't have any CF reference
