cfschedule
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.
