Question

Cfscheduler does not trigger

I have a daily scheduled task to backup up databases to a remote ftp site. The scheduled backup runs once at the scheduled time (after the task is initiated or reinitiated) and then never runs again. The scheduler.log, coldfusion.log and application.log make no mention of even having attempted to run the task or a failure related to the task. Anyone experience this? Can anyone suggest where I might look for clues as to what's going on?

Can you get into the CFADMIN to see what is going on with it? If not, then check with your host. SOME hosts don't allow cfschedule and some restrict it. I don't know of any that let you do whatever you want with it.
IF you can get to cfadmin, then you can see what is happening directly.

Thanks Dinghus. In this case, this is a personal website. The server is sitting here next to me :) so I have complete control over the admin settings. Was there something specific you were thinking I could see? I've checked all the settings directly in the Admin console, scanned all of the logs, etc. There's just no indication that cfschedule has even tried to run the second day of the daily recurring task...

I always make sure that my first run time is at least 30 minutes in the future from when I CFSCHEDULE the job. Could be superstition, but it seems to work for me.

Thanks. The job is scheduled for 2:11am so I normally am initiating (or re-initiating) the task well in advance. And it runs just fine the first time. The next time it's supposed to run is 24 hours later and that's when nothing happens.
