Does anyone know for sure, if you pause a CF scheduled task, does it automatically run when you resume it? I think not, just checking, while still being a bit lazy/busy and not testing that myself.

I think not as well, but not 100% sure.

it doesn't. you have to hit the running man to kick it off.

It should run next time it is scheduled to run, not just because you un paused it.

Right, what I thought, just verifying. Some of the paused tasks are somewhat intensive, want to run them, but once.

Dave - if your server is on IIS, you also need to be aware of the "feature" of IIS that will silently restart the IIS service every 29 hours and 1 minute that could cause your scheduled task to get triggered twice. I have seen this completely bork long-running jobs that were imports of large files that were then processed. The fix is to change the IIS setting to be every 24 hours at a time that won't impact your scheduled jobs.

@Reuben Brown wasn't aware of that! do you remember what this feature is called / where it is found?

look for a setting at the iis server level for "app pool recycle" .

amazing, thanks
