Coldfusion scheduler is stopping at random
Good morning,
I'm running Coldfusion 2018 standard on a Windows 2016 server. Recently the CF scheduler has been stopping. No idea why or even how to detect it other than clients calling in when their scheduled tasks don't fire.
Any suggestions on diagnosing/fixing this?
Thanks!

Ben - why wouldn't you cancel the question as soon as you hired someone or at least as soon as you got an answer?!?

1. restart the CF Server - then test it again to see if that was the issue
2. create a simple test page i.e. test.cfm - code this page to send you an email with a time stamp.
then access this test page via its url i.e. http://mysite/test.cfm to ensure that the page can be accessed.
3. create a new scheduled task and point it to your test page from step 2 - verify that when the task runs the page is accessed and you get the email as expected.
Post back as to if this gets the task working or not.
My guess is this: Either restarting the CF Server in step one fixes the issue
OR there may be connection issues that you have during the process.
Such as the task is called ok but the issue is on the page that the task calls - possibly an error of some sort??
One then needs to look at what this file is doing i.e. is it calling other pages or ???
Be sure to read your log files to help you solve these issues i.e. was the task ever called? etc ...
Good Luck!
