Description
Provides a programmatic interface to the ColdFusion scheduling engine. Can run a CFML page
at scheduled intervals, with the option to write the page output to a static HTML page. This
feature enables you to schedule pages that publish data, such as reports, without waiting while a
database transaction is performed to populate the page.

History
ColdFusion MX 6.1: Changed the way intervals are calculated. The day length now reflects
changes between standard and daylight saving times. The month length is now the calendar
month length, not four weeks. The scheduler handles leap years correctly.
