[thelist] CF Scheduler/Mail problems

[Aaron Johnson]

Hi Susan,

Have you checked to make sure that CFExecutive is running on the machine
that doesn't run the scheduled tasks? I'm pretty certain that
CFExecutive (which usually runs as a service on WinNT) is service that
handles the execution of scheduled tasks (ie: it pings cfserver
everytime a scheduled task needs to be run).

If that doesn't help, then you can use Windows Scheduled Tasks to
execute the CFM script from the command line.
