Hi,

I am setting up the schedule task to run my cfm page.  I’d like this task to run on the last day of each month.  How can I accomplished this since each month is different, some have 30, or 31 or 28, 29 days…..?

Thanks

Hi newcf,

Your question and answer are in the ColdFusion documentation.

  • If you schedule a monthly job to run on the last day of a month, the scheduled job will run on the last day of each month. For example, if you schedule a monthly job to start on January 31, it will run on January 31, February 28 or 29, March 31, April 30, and so on.

Did you try something like this?

<!--- StartDate in format mm/DD/yyyy, where DD is cardinality of last day of current month--->

<cfset strtDt = month(now()) & "/" & DaysInMonth(now()) & "/" & year(now())>

<cfschedule startDate = "#strtDt#">
