Saving output to file

Open the page that is the URL of your scheduled task in an editor. Append the following line at the end and save:

<cflog log="scheduler" text="">

Coldfusion will create the file scheduler.log in the logs directory. It will record the dates and times the task is performed.

or you could write to a database instead of a file.

Instead of having the Scheduled Task in Admin output to file, you could actually code a CFFILE tag into the end of the actual script you are callingin the first place. This way you can have it append the data to the file rather than overwrite it.

The process in the admin section merely writes the output to a file and replaces the file if it exists already.

Not from the CF admin or with the schedule task interface. The output
file is more for debugging the schedule task itself then to be a log or
history of the task ran. But it would be fairly trivial for the
template that the task runs to do this for itself.

Generate|capture the desired output and append it to any file you desire
with the <cffile...> or <cflog...> tags.
