CFSchedule tag supported?

[skypanther]

Are scheduled tasks via the ColdFusion CFSCHEDULE tag supported?

I wrote a page to schedule the task and got no errors. And, I wrote another that supposedly runs the task and called it without errors.

I need to pull an XML feed daily from a site for integration into my client's site. I can do the scheduling through other means if necessary but I'd like to know if what I've done has me all set.

Thanks,
Tim

Did you get a chance to verify this. AFAIK Jodohost does not block any CF Tags.

The page is working so the tag and scheduling service must be supported. I'm not sure if the scheduled task will survive a reboot but those don't happen too often so it probably won't be a problem.

This is the client's page:

http://renewableenergylongisland.org/oneworld.cfm

It pulls an RSS feed daily from the explorer's blog.

Tim - according to the LiveDocs at http://tinyurl.com/3w82w the CFSchedule tag commits changes to the CF Server's settings files. It will definitely survive a reboot.
