Mike's Notes
Pipi 9 extensively uses <CFschedule>, a CFML tag for outputting files. CFSchedule does this job very well. Charlie Arehart's talks and writings are excellent.
Thank you, Charlie, for all your work.

CF Scheduled Tasks: more than you may know, and should
The site of server troubleshooter Charlie Arehart.
If folks were asked to discuss CF scheduled tasks, I suspect most would feel "there's not much to say". But there really is a lot more to working with them than simply "setting a given url to run on a given schedule" (did you know it could be a CFC, for instance? Did you know about the cron time feature? Did you know about clustering scheduled tasks--even with ColdFusion Standard?). Besides there being more features than many may realize, there are also some common problems people face when running them, and there are tools and techniques to help with that.
In this talk, veteran CF troubleshooter Charlie Arehart will address all these and more, starting with several ways to create them (yes, even more than just cfschedule and the CF Admin UI) then more on those more advanced/easily missed features, as well as tools and techniques for solving common problems with them. We'll also explore configuration files and features for managing tasks. Finally we'll also cover ways CF scheduled tasks may seem to NOT work and discuss alternatives to them.
