One of the simplest ways is to simply have the event fire when a visitor
arrives. e.g. in application.cfm
<cflock timeout="1" throwontimeout="no" type="exclusive"
scope="application">
<cfif dateDiff("n", application.lastUpdated, now())>
do event
<cfset application.lastupdate=now()>
</cfif>
</cflock>
Obviously this is not suitable for all cases, but it often will do,
especially on regularly visited sites.
