[thelist] CFSCHEDULE

[Raymond K. Camden]

I'm not sure what you mean by 'how does the sever need to be configured'.
Out of the box, CFSCHEDULE will work as you want it. The only issue is the
scheduler interval. This tells CF how often it should check for new events.
By default it is set for 15 minutes, so if you use CFSCHEDULE to create an
event to run in the next few minutes, CF may 'miss' it.
